Headcount Drops at Large Texas Firms

Between Jan. 1, 2009, and Jan. 1, 2010, lawyer headcounts at 25 of the 26 largest firms in Texas declined by 5.7 percent overall, and several of the BigTex firms posted Texas lawyer count declines in excess of 10 percent. Law firm consultant William C. Cobb of Houston says he's not surprised, noting that reduced hiring, delayed start dates, mandatory retirement rules and layoffs all contributed to the reductions. Firm leaders seemed much more optimistic about lateral hiring at Texas firms in the coming year.

Firestone Won't Give Up Forum Non Conveniens Fight

An effort to stop a Dallas court from hearing two mass tort actions arising out of 31 auto accidents in Mexico and Venezuela just keeps going and going. The Texas Supreme Court recently denied a mandamus petition by Bridgestone/Firestone and Ford Motor Co. to block a July 28 trial in a tire tread separation accident.

Unknown Salaries and Start Dates Don't Impact Law Firm Job Acceptance Rates

With graduation less than five months away, former summer associates in Texas have been accepting full-time offers even though some firm leaders, such as those at Vinson & Elkins, did not tell them their start date or salary. Despite the lack of information, the acceptance rate for V&E's job offers rose significantly over last year's. Perhaps not surprisingly, at a time when some firms didn't have summer programs and others extended no offers, acceptance rates have risen for several other Texas firms as well.
