not talking about vault rank, but firms that are generally considered BIGLAW but are just crappier than you'd assume.

Sidley used to be pretty prestigious - has it gone to shit? And doesnt Mayer Brown have one of the most credited SCOTUS practices? Seems weird to see them lumped in with K&L Gates.

I'd take Sidley, Mayer Brown, Proskauer, Goodwin, and K&S off.

Paul Hastings, Morgan Lewis, Winston used to be good, but are very much in decline. Baker Botts and Perkins Coie have some strong regional practices, but aren't great overall. Baker McKenzie is strong in tax, but a shitshow. DLA Piper, K&LG = LOL.

Ropes, Mofo, O'Melveny, Hogan are on their way down. The Magic Circle firms (other than maybe Clifford Chance) have failed in the US.

Member when Shearman was V10?

Dechert blows.

most of the extremely massive firms have some of the worst PPP of the V100. Some of the 2000 lawyer firms have less gross revenue than 700 lawyer firms.

I was too kind to Ropes, MoFo, and O'Melveny, and I completely forgot about Dechert, but Hogan and Shearman routinely top M&A league tables.

I don't understand what Sidley (?), Mayer Brown (appellate lit?), Proskauer (labor and sports?), Goodwin (tech?), and K&S (?) have to offer.

too large a category. with a few exceptions, large firms outside the v20 are crappy but may have some good practice areas or be the best in a secondary city.

tbf, some firms inside the v20 are also shitty. I have no idea how white & case is #17.
