Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 1st, 2010 2:21 AM Author: Ivory stimulating ratface In the event of a double-dip recession, which firms are the safest bet, i.e., the least likely to Latham its associates? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411367&forum_id=2,#15937308) |

all the offenders of 2009 are likely to reoffend again. their business model/practice group balance/lack of a cohesive partnership predisposes them to that. |

Date: September 28th, 2010 7:17 PM Author: Hyperactive maroon keepsake machete hell That's the problem with this board. Too few opinions and too little discussion of Latham. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411367&forum_id=2,#16166593) |

Date: September 1st, 2010 8:18 AM Author: Histrionic personal credit line Covington froze salaries for longer than just about any other firm, and only just recently restored them. I don't think that bodes well for them if things get worse. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411367&forum_id=2,#15937649) |
|
Date: September 1st, 2010 8:59 AM Author: Lascivious khaki lay pretty much every firm did layoffs/deferrals/etc. Covington is one of the few that did not. I'd rather work somewhere where there is a salary freeze than the alternatives.
I don't think a safe firm is an untouchable firm. I'm not even sure there is such a firm (besides W&C and Wachtell). |

I didn't know Kirkland was considered particularly safe? And what about QUINN REMAINS? |

Date: September 1st, 2010 3:24 PM Author: Appetizing Red Dog Poop wat about kirkland makes it unsafe? theyve got BP litigation, no salary freezes, no cuts, fine bonuses, no deferrals. Yes, they've cut, but most on that list have as well.
