Did you just read what Brad Karp sent out 3 hours ago?

TL;DR — they looked for solidarity amongst BigLaw and those firms attempted to poach clients instead. They were ready to fight it.

This is why people hate lawyers.

I’m curious how Pomerantz feels about Karp.

Skadden has to publicly say no to musk. If Trump immediately retaliates with an executive order after their defiance, the timing would strongly suggest a conspiracy to obstruct justice (18 U.S.C. § 371) between Musk and Trump. Standing up to Musk here actually may protect them from Trump targeting.

So I pulled an all nighter on Monday to do this thing, spend Tuesday like a zombie (and I had 5 calls!!!) then on 6PM the senior reviewing my work came back with comments that I needed to turn “ASAP”. I was so tired I just said I would not because I needed to sleep. I sent them today at 1:30 PM.
Would you get mad if your mid-level/junior did that? I’m all for pulling all-nighters and billing but everything has a limit.

I am a mid level and have received an offer from a regional big law firm in a non-market paying location. I believe the firm would be a great fit and the location is where I want to be. The biggest issue is money. I’d be lateraling from full cravath in a major market and the initial offer I received is a bit off that (read: 50% salary reduction). While the market is cheaper in some respects, housing is not. How far can I expect this firm to go to in terms of compensation? Any negotiation tips?
