What should this new firm be called? Only wrong answers that flush decades of brand equity are acceptable. Aim for McDermott Will & Schulte level destructive. I’ll go first. Manning, Taft & Morris LLP.

They should merge with Locke Lorde’s successor and become Lord Taft Stettinius of Morris-Manning-Martin

Gotta keep the Taft Stettinius in there somehow, it just sounds so law firmy. Like Sullivan & Cromwell or Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft. You hear it and you picture a partner with a giant mustache screaming at the 9 year old
who shovels coal into the broiler for keeping the place too cold and interfering with your research in the new and exciting field of railroad law.

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm. The top law firms will be okay (they always are) but if you are part of a larger group of associates with no work, you are likely to be axed. Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.

To those at V25 firms, how do you view your London office in terms of the quality of work we get and overall importance to the firm?
