If Trump does away with Dodd-Frank without creating new regs to keep us all employed -- yes. Dodd Frank has been like 1/3 of all biglaw billables for like 8 years.

cr. Kind of fun watching football with pops and your uncle over Thanksgiving weekend, and having homemade food rather than Seamless sushi, right? Might as well not get on the flight back to NY. That "departmental meeting (free bagels and schmears)" on Monday, Nov 28, is to discuss "staffing" and "streamlining" and "client-focused solutions."

Trump is eliminating two old regulations for every new one. This will create an accelerated decline curve with each set of two eliminated regulations comprising greater and greater percentages of outstanding regulation as more regulations are passed. Eventually, even the newly passed regulations will start being eliminated, until we are left with one, single regulation (and the inability to pass more because there are not enough regulations to eliminate). Ask me again if the concept of biglaw layoffs in this environment sounds like flame.
