New Firms in Town Gobbling up Associates

 

By John R. Byrne

A bunch of big national firms have recently placed their stakes in the Miami legal market. And now they're gobbling up legal talent. The DBR covers it here.

Kirkland & Ellis, Sidley Austin, Winston & Strawn, and Quinn Emanuel will bring in summer associates in 2023. King & Spalding, which also launched a Miami office, may as well.

There's also an arms race of sorts for lateral associates. Collectively, the firms have pulled in over a dozen associates from local firms, with the numbers set to grow. Looks like there will be more lawyer movement afoot in the coming months.

Are you sure about this? No one has contacted me.

The market will get competitive for the mid-law/local boutique firms that want to keep their associates. The promise of a "better" work-life balance can only go so far when big law pay is on the table.
