I'm a SmallLaw partner, low on the shit list but likely on the shit list (as I represent Democrats), and I'm getting louder.
Representing Democrats has probably cost the firm business but it is probably not business I want.

I've only ever done SmallLaw, but for a solid year I was local to BigLaw and our client was [big major thing] and it was definitely eye-opening. Also fun to tell out-of-state BigLaw people that Milwaukee courts are basically John Daly in that meme with Tiger Woods.

BigLaw has collapsed.
All hail the rise of SmallLaw.
And, of course, MediumSizedLaw.
Which is in desperate search of a good name.

Kirkland & Ellis, Allen Overy Shearman Sterling, Simpson Thatcher, and Latham & Watkins should be viewed as administration shills now. It would be a mistake to engage them in any matter in which your interests and positions are not congruent with this administration’s.

I realize I am in SmallLaw but potential for success at my firm is nothing that could be measured by AI any more than it could be measured by the Myers-Briggs test employers in the 90s thought were important

#BigLaw headcount should remain steady if interest rates drop to fight economic recessionary events. #MidsizeLaw will speed up mergers as corporate consolidation reduces available legal spend. #SmallLaw will stop hiring.

I and the other lawyers I know in SmallLaw have some of the highest job satisfaction of any people I know. If you are comfortable making merely an upper-middle income you get to ride high on the psychic wage. You just can’t take out 200k+ in loans for school.
