With all the shakeups recently, what are the top firms in Austin for general corporate practice? Kirkland/Latham?

Probably KE, Latham, Baker Botts and Vinson. DLA, Wilson and Gunderson if you are more interested in tech work

That's fair on both accounts, but this should all be prefaced with the fact there really aren't any top tier corporate groups in Austin relative to what you'll find in the other Texas markets, so one should be looking more holistically at the kind of work they'd be doing and less so whether a firm is considered a local powerhouse.
