I placed 3 in lit. I suspect Johnson Downie did the V&E finance deal.

like

It’s Mr. Hastings himself

like

1.) Johnson Downie opens the offices in Dallas. The VE finance group was a negotiated package and is not the efforts of a single recruiter. It’s a deal at the attorney level between a group of lawyers willing to move and the law firm entrant.
2.) it is typical to follow up those initial hires with ancillary supporting hires. One-offs in tax and litigation for example.

That finance group had been looking to move for a couple years and is very strong. PH has been on a spending spree. Conversely, Willkie as a platform has nowhere near the momentum or open pocketbook that a PH does and took partners from a couple different firms, one of whom wasn’t wanted back at his last place after lateraling there and the other group was from a regional firm with unproven partners and a fraction of a single client.

Serious question. Why couldn’t Willkie do this?

like

At PH, it’s awesome

Not sure it has much to do with the recruiter. Paul Hastings is a big name and its Dallas office is brand new so it’s making waves.

Money and a willingness to hire effectively mercenaries looking for a place that is as hard charging as they are

Do most firms start reporting years in September or January? Prior firm did an August year for counting hours and then another did January (both Amlaw 200).

So the question has been asked a few times in the main Big Law bowl but keeps getting derailed into a political issue. As someone with a more conservative disposition anyway I'm interested in the day to day of life and work in Texas as opposed to NYC (or similar).

So, what are the pros and cons of living in Texas and working in Texas Biglaw?

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?
