In the event of a double-dip recession, which firms are the safest bet, i.e., the least likely to Latham its associates?

lol, no. they're as corp heavy as ever AND they just opened a bunch of corp/trans heavy offices.

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.

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.

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).

academia/clerkships. the more I think about it, the more I think I would have been pretty content just staying put, particularly as my desire to go into academia lessens. for clerkships i'm sure it'll be a plus, but I really find myself going back and forth on the importance of prestige. at some point you have to call it quits and just be happy with life - I think I could have landed a federal clerkship (probably even COA) out of my old school, so I don't know that the move was worth getting a better one. but here I am.

Selectivity and lit-focus generally seem like good proxies for safety.

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

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.
