Date: February 3rd, 2023 1:23 AM Author: fear-inspiring church building I am also in the south and have never had any luck hiring a good or even decent associate. And i was willing to pay six figures pre-covid/pre inflation. The basic problem is that i am in an out of the way city and anyone who lives here or wants to come here is too dumb to do the work, which often has midlaw/biglaw on the other side. These motherfuckers can't even do decent msj practice, much less take a depo or argue a hearing. They are way, way, way worse than i was early in my career with 10x the hand-holding I had.

Date: February 3rd, 2023 2:32 AM Author: violent dysfunction lay Not to be a debbie downer / fight the hypo, but this is probably the #1 benefit of being a small partnerhsip rather than a solo. Unless you're *really* prestigious and/or very successful (in your current form, not when you were a senior associate at jones day), you're just not going to get good people.
I came out of fancy firms that had very few TTT grads (all like #1 in their class), but I had litigated against TTTs who I thought were perfectly serviceable lawyers. I didn't realize that even those guys were probably top-5% of their class in talent, even if not grades. Early on with my firm we went through a string of folks who were so fucking bad I can't imagine using them productively for anything. We gave one girl more severance than she had total time at the company b/c we all felt so guilty that we had erred so unreasonably by hiring her. |
