Next time the Vault survey comes around, don’t forget to take into account that P,W and Skadden bent over and spread their cheeks (Skadden even before they were asked to). They should lose at least 50 places in the ranking. They spineless and rolled over instead of standing up to what they pretended to believe in. Don’t give the nazi-lawyers further credibility, let alone “prestige”.

Just did the Vault survey. Everyone on the Milbank scale got a 10. Everyone else got a 1 through 4. DPW got a 1.

1st year. I have a decent amount of client email/phone interaction. One partner frequently asks me to communicate with clients, and the partner tells me to ask if I have any questions before emailing the client.

I almost always respond to the partner with my thoughts and ask partner whether P agrees with my thoughts, prior to emailing client. At what point should I be skipping that step and just email client? I’m worried about making a mistake, but most of the time P agrees with my “draft”

The struggle is particularly real today
