Happy New Year TX Bowl! Curious to hear how busy attorneys expect to be in Q1? I know January can be slow for some. Please state grad year, and practice area and your Q1 work- load expectations. I’ll start!
Legal Recruiter in Houston, primary market is TX. I’m busy. Not 2021 pace and not Q1 2022 pace but very steady. Solid 2019 pace! Expect to have a strong Q1 but still not sure what 2023 will bring in the lateral associate area.

Same.

Not 2021/H1 2022 busy. Busier than H2 2022 (which wasn’t slow!), given my firm’s recent news. 😬

I wasn’t sure which bowl to solicit advice from so hoping to catch a bite here. I’m currently in ID. Of course, I want OUT! My interests are L&E and corporate.

I figured this bowl being specific to Texas would understand importance of oil and gas industry.
