The Fearsome Foursome Is Back. It’s the Same Four. Again. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Quinn Emanuel tops BTI’s most feared litigation list for the fifth straight year. The top sixteen firms haven’t budged. The only real movement is further down, where some “Awesome” firms are quietly being reclassified as merely “Intimidating.” A particular kind of silence falls over a general counsel’s office when the other side’s notice of appearance lands and the name on it is Quinn Emanuel. BTI Consulting has built an annual franchise out of measuring that silence, and the 2027 results are in
The Wild World of Law Star Neel Sachdev (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Neel Sachdev is the best-paid finance lawyer in London, the most-discussed lateral hire of the decade, and possibly the only Big Law partner who has consulted an astrologer before hiring associates. He’s also been continuing to attract a lot of publicity lately. Most partners at elite law firms prefer to be invisible outside a small circle of clients and headhunters.

A Hundred Days Of Silence: BigLaw Made Record Money And Still Has Not Paid The $235K Scale (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Milbank announced its new associate salary scale on Tuesday 2 June and today is Thursday 10 September. That is one hundred days, to the day, and the largest and most profitable law firms in the United States have still not said what they intend to pay their associates. This is not how the associate pay ritual is supposed to run. The choreography of a BigLaw pay rise has been stable for a decade. A bellwether moves, the peer group matches within days because nobody wants to be the firm explaining
