|
Date: November 28th, 2014 3:05 PM Author: Trip Grizzly Depressive Casino My guess is S&C goes with DPW scale but with the 110k for 7/8 from Skadden. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2739688&forum_id=2#26817431) |

Date: November 28th, 2014 3:20 PM Author: Tan Razzle Parlor Bbw Thanks for your guess. I agree that would make sense. Do you then think cravath, Weil and others who matched the lower scale would then reissue bonus memos at the higher market scale?
