Is this an accurate description of Williams & Connolly?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 12th, 2015 4:43 PM Author: Seedy messiness One other thing that makes Williams & Connolly unusual, if not old-fashioned, is that the firm does not accept "lateral" partners. In the bigmoney lawyer world of today, attorneys move around like free-agent baseball players whose contracts have expired. No matter that you have spent the first twenty years of your life in an institution that gave you a chance, nurtured you, showered money and benefits on you. That's all so yesterday, except at Williams & Connolly. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2853724&forum_id=2#27677403) |

Mr. Shanmugam joined Williams & Connolly in 2008 after serving as an Assistant to the Solicitor General in the Department of Justice. He was the first lawyer to join the firm directly as a partner for 22 years. Born and raised in Lawrence, Kansas, he received his A.B. summa cum laude from Harvard College in 1993; his M. Litt. from the University of Oxford, where he was a Marshall Scholar; and his J.D. magna cum laude from Harvard Law School, where he was executive editor of the Harvard Law Review. He clerked for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and for Judge J. Michael Luttig on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

Date: April 12th, 2015 4:58 PM Author: Mahogany Den Generalized Bond I wish. Biglaw grind. I'm far more impressed by a successful shitlaw solo king with no boss, building his own successful business, making biglaw partner money, than by some biglaw partner grinder doing paperwork at 11:00 on a Saturday night who will be long forgotten 5 days after he retires.
Try to make a mark on this world. Try to build something. Anyone with a servile attitude and a dogmatic attention to detail can do 4.0 UG Poli Sci-> T14 -> Biglaw firm -> service partner. It's not impressive. I'm only impressed by those who have built something for themselves. |

Date: April 12th, 2015 5:10 PM Author: Mahogany Den Generalized Bond I would love to lateral to a small PI shop that handles decent cases (not a car accident mill) and learn the practice for 2-3 years, then become a solo PI trial attorney. Very hard to get hired by these firms coming from biglaw though. They want ex prosecutors or insurance defense types. Biglaw gives you plenty of exit opportunities, but they're all office-monkey type jobs. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2853724&forum_id=2#27677643) |

Date: April 12th, 2015 5:27 PM Author: Jade Embarrassed To The Bone Space Tattoo still a minority, but more realistic. also if you go it alone you generally have to grind hard as fuck for years to get to that level. getting good PI cases is an insane hustle and you have to be prepared to lay out a shitload of cash for future dividends.
not arguing for biglaw, just saying, it's very pie in the sky to just fantasize about this awesome and easy world of lucrative PI practice. |
