I’ve gotten a dozen emails about a “prestigious” opening at the top of the litigation ranks for a firm that rarely, if ever, hires laterals (paraphrasing). Not one recruiter has responded to my emails about which firm. Anyone know which firm is supposedly so prestigious it warrants this many emails?
