Received a reach out for a litigation position with Shearman Dallas related to the A&O Shearman merger. Anyone have insight on Shearman's Dallas office? Looks to mainly be M&A. Currently pretty comfortable at an AmLaw 80-100 firm.

Curious how it could be represented as having anything to do with a merger that hasn't closed yet, especially when this posting has been up for a year and a half.

Makes sense. There's not much one can do to sell Shearman, so I get why a recruiter would think it's a selling point, even if it has nothing to do with the position.

They have been advertising positions for ages, yet never seem to actually hire anyone notable.

Pretty positive they filled that lit position in Houston recently as I know the candidate who accepted. White collar/investigations opening.

M&A is strong. Meh everything else

Pretty sure they pay market, which I do not ~think~ can be said for any AmLaw 80-100
