Silver linings aren’t abundant in the break-up of Dewey & LeBoeuf, the law firm that put more than 1,000 people on the street by the time it filed for bankruptcy in May 2012, but a recent research paper by a Yale Law School student has found a few.

For lawyers, at least, the experience didn’t appear to taint their careers. Associates who worked at Dewey in 2012 had the same odds of becoming a Big Law partner by 2022 compared to associates at peer firms with comparable partner profits, while former Dewey partners had the same odds of remaining partners at Am Law 100 firms as their peers as well.
