Heard this all secondhand, so take it with a a grain of salt, but rumor is their lit group is imploding.

You’d be better off at one of the lit boutiques.

Lit group is imploding and the firm as a whole is having issues. Would also be concerned about cultural fit if you’re anything but a straight white male.

3 partners and 3 associates recently left to start a lit group for White & Case. Not sure what’s left in Houston. Heavy healthcare lit in Dallas. Are they hiring?

Would you mind clarifying the "not sure what's left" sentiment? From first hand experience I can attest they are interviewing lateral candidates and it seemed like they had a rather large practice.

Nope
