Re: Who decides to fire an associate in biglaw?
I've heard that it's done by a type of "nomination" process at some firms where if a partner wants you gone, and no one objects, you gone.

Re: Latham to v80!

Not everyone else that was paying the old scale has matched yet though. Tru: https://abovethelaw.com/2018/06/by-any-metric-these-...
