PE M&A

PE M&A get their own swag at my firm. Now that's power!
Which ever group has the highest rates, collections, and collected hours
Our lit group is massive and what the firm is known for. But in my office, our M&A team is lean but bills a ton and they do whatever they want. They are very disconnected from the rest of the office.

Are they hiring?

It’s not group so much. There’s 4-6 individual partners firmwide split up between different practice groups that actually matter. The rest like to pretend that the title “partner” actually makes them special.
Oh yup the switch when someone people get "partner" after their name is something else. Nevermind NEPs are basically glorified associates with all of the bad and none of the good, and at least as an associate at my firm you don't know if partners are equity or non equity
I'd say any group that gets big enough is gonna have dead weight, so my firm's real estate group probably has the most concentration of power given the high revenue generation for its relative size... it's small enough all the partners actually talk about promotion and discretionary bonuses for non partners so that's more of a unified front instead of associates angling to be the practice chair's pet associate
Define power. Like who brings in the most money or whose work is actually most important?
And I would imagine power also equals revenue or business generation source
Gov Con got the top floor of our new office building 🤷🏻♀️
