I like Akin Dallas. Great reputation. Easy to work with. Yes, M&A was slammed but I think every firm was. I find their corporate associates to be broader than most.

Don’t know much about RE group. They have some in Dallas and some in Ft Worth I think? Happy to check?

Plenty of other firms hiring in RE right now.

I've heard Akin Gump in Dallas is a sweatshop. However, the same could be said about most of big law in general.

I’m a non-TX immigration attorney mentoring a UT student who went to my undergrad. He’s done incredibly well in OCI and pre-OCI. Thus far, he’s landed interviews with (all in Houston): Baker Botts, Sidley Austin, Kirkland, Winston Strawn, Reed Smith, Norton Rose, and Locke Lord. Also Perkins Coie in Dallas. He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?
