WHICH FIRMS have made associates DISAPPEAR?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: October 7th, 2009 2:44 PM Certainly, some laid off associates before February 1. And some have "deferred" associates, or given them a year off. Others may have left voluntarily. Still others may have been elevated to partner. And some have already started incoming associates. But could we notice any significant trends? Here's a look at the home offices for the Vault 25. (Caution: firms may classify "associate" differently for NALP than on its own Web site, among other factors.) VAULT. OFFICE (CITY): FEB 1 to CURRENT, TOTAL CHANGE, % CHANGE 1. Wachtell (New York): 127 to 117, -10, -8% 2. Cravath (New York): 355 to 365, +10, +3% 3. Skadden (New York): 642 to ~425*, -217, -34% 4. S&C (New York): ~351** to 292, -59, -17% 5. DPW (New York): 442 to 372, -70, -16% 6. Weil (New York): 500 to 402, -98, -20% 7. STB (New York): 510 to ~425*, -85, -17% 8. Cleary (New York): 336 to 310, -26, -8% 9. Covington (DC): 227 to ~200*, -27, -12% 10. Kirkland (Chicago): 384 to 325, -59, -15% 11. W&C (DC): 119 to ~115*, -4, -3% 12. Debevoise (New York): 379 to ~335*, -44, -12% 13. Paul Weiss (New York): 376 to ~308*, -68, -18% 14. GDC (LA): inc. 15. Sidley (Chicago): 310 to 247, -63, -20% 16. WilmerHale (DC): 256 to ~90*, -166, -65% 17. Latham (LA): 221 to 152, -69, -31% 18. A&P (DC/McLean): 246 to 208, -38, -15% 19. Jones Day (DC): 108 to 98, -10, -9% 20. White & Case (New York): 317 to ~190*, -127, -40% 21. Shearman (New York): 357 to ~220*, -137, -38% 22. OMM (LA): 152 to ~80*, -72, -47% 23. Quinn Emanuel (all): inc. 24. Ropes (Boston): 353 to ~315*, -38, -11% 25. Hogan (DC): 281 to 210, -71, -25% [I double-checked the numbers on WilmerHale, but someone else can correct me if I made a mistake.] * estimated count from Web site entries ** estimated count from NALP form Thoughts? Errors? Thanks. |
