Wouldn’t call them big law but probably mid market. Probably won’t see much public company action there but I’m sure they have lots of private stuff. When the market is slow these smaller firms tend to get busy on litigation rather than corporate. They aren’t having their first years start until January 2024 which is a red flag.
