[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the issue with biglaw going down the tubes is practice area specific. I work at one of the national L&E firms. Most of the partners in my office defected from biglaw firms. The reason they did so was the billing rates -- clients don't want to pay $650 an hour for someone to handle unfair labor practice charges or discrimination lawsuits, and the firms uniformly refused to allow these partners to lower their rates. I think L&E practices at biglaw firms are going to go the way of the dinosaur before too long. It really makes no sense to pay M&A rates for someone to defend an FLSA or Title VII lawsuit. [/quote] True. And due to Employment Liability Insurance a simple employment litigation matters are going to smaller firms or large firms that staff 3rd and 4th years associates on the matters. If you want to do employment law, get to a place where the big employers are not the federal government.[/quote]
