Date: January 26th, 2012 11:39 PM Author: Fantasy-prone Potus Shrine Bradley Arant is the most pretigous firm in Alabama.
Balch is not as pretigeous but i believe they have offices outside of alabama.
None of these are biglaw. |

|
Date: January 26th, 2012 11:40 PM Author: appetizing pink field newt no they don't; you are right. These firms start at 110-120k. But they have over 200 attorneys and are well inside NLJ 250. Big law or mid law?
Is there vault info on these firms? |

Unless you are a WASP from Mountain Brook or Vestavia you are not a Good Old Boy in B'ham.
If you are indeed a Good Old Boy under the definition I have set out above, you wouldnt even be asking your questions. Your perfect life in B'ham would be pre-ordained and you wouldnt be trolling on a shitty chatsite made by a filthy jew. HTfH. |

Date: January 27th, 2012 12:04 AM Author: appetizing pink field newt Associate recruiting never took the hit in Bham that atl looks like it endured at the big firms. Birmingham also has a robust 1LSA program which is what I am interested in doing. Might be easier and more effective to plant ties in a firm as a 1L than clerk for some jackass superior court judge in College Park during 1L summer. thoughts?

Date: January 27th, 2012 2:24 AM Author: Mildly autistic bateful tattoo area Bradley Arant is a good firm. There are some small litigation shops around. Any big alabama M&A involves a real biglaw firm outside the state. My experience is Alabama attorneys really work 9-6 whereas some other "biglaw" southern firms like the ones in atl or bass berry in TN work closer to real hours.
Also you are spot on with respect to being a good ole boy. Northerners need not apply. Mississippians are considered foreigners in Alabama. |

Date: September 7th, 2017 11:15 AM Author: cerebral offensive pocket flask I work in BIGFED in Washington DC. One day, we were visited by a bunch of attorneys from Birmingham, Alabama. They represented Alabama companies operating in the industry space we regulated.
These were the chillest, frattiest attorneys I have ever met. They blew chill Big 10 Chicago biglaw bros out of the fucking water.
One aspie in my office tried networking with them, asking how he could get into Alabama midlaw. They tried to brush him off like "whoa, calm down lil breh" and he didn't take any of their social cues. |

He was with like 20 people from his firm. They were all wearing Fratagonia vests over oxford shirts, croakies around their neck (this was at night), and typical Alabama dude haircuts (either clean cut or bama bangs) - even the old guys. Not saying they were all cool, but they definitely had a different vibe to them. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1859168&forum_id=2#34157673) |
