[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What I don't see mentioned enough is the effect on existing biglaw lawyers if the market were suddenly flooded with experienced lawyers who think $200k is a sweet salary. Even if those ex-fed lawyers ultimately are fired in a few years (and certainly never make partner) I think there would be a big temptation for firms to unload their more expensive associates and junior partners in favor of cheaper options in the short term. Somebody with 20+ years practicing can definitely do an associate's job, even in an unfamiliar area, and a smart firm would offer a lifestyle billing requirement in exchange for "low" salaries. It could potentially remake the DC law market.[/quote]
lol anyone who actually worked in biglaw knows how dumb this sounds.  Firms aren’t to replace their associates and junior partners with feds accustomed to completely different work/life balance.  If there is a mass exodus of fed attorneys at most it will drive down salaries of biglaw staff attorneys and doc reviewers.[/quote]

You're saying firms are too hidebound to change their hiring pipeline - which is a fair point, law firms are snobby and change slowly. But if they are too previous about it, their clients will find it's pretty cheap to expand in-house operations and outsource less. [/quote]
