[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why you are all emphasizing my daughter. She will go wherever we go. If we split, she will spend part of her time with each of us. I am not saying we will split. I am asking for advice on the Dallas market. Which big law firms are prominent there? Which areas of law should a litigator emphasize?[/quote]

Give me a break. You're a biglaw senior (as am I) in DC and you can't name the biglaw firms in Dallas off the top of your head? You really don't know that Akin Gump and V&E are huge there? You really don't know that complex commercial lit is the big litigation sector for big firms? You really have no one else you can ask besides a bunch of non lawyers on DCUM? Maybe look on LinkedIn and see who from your law school class ended up in Dallas and where they work? Maybe call one of the TWO judges you clerked for - if you're close - and talk with them, as sometimes judges are good sounding boards for their clerks forever.

As for a split not being a big deal bc she'll spend time with both of you -- think about it. This isn't a split where you'd be living down the road from each other so she could do M-W with you and R-S with her dad. This is across the country, so essentially one person gets her full time. She'll be at least 12 before she can fly to the other parent for a weekend as an unaccompanied minor. So that means for the next decade, whichever parent isn't with her -- if they care -- is flying back and forth to Dallas or DC to try to get to know their daughter in hopes that when she's a teen/preteen she will want to spend summers with that other parent. If that's how it works out, fine. But it IS a big deal.[/quote]

Yeah, your request on prominent Dallas firms is nonsense if you have half the credentials you claim.  Having no interest in or connection to TX I can think of quite a few other prominent Texas firms and, as someone pointed out, three minutes on google could give you plenty more.  Nice try to twist your original question - which had nothing to do with the Dallas market - after rightly getting pilloried.[/quote]
