all the offenders of 2009 are likely to reoffend again. their business model/practice group balance/lack of a cohesive partnership predisposes them to that. |

Date: September 1st, 2010 8:18 AM Author: Outnumbered coffee pot rigpig Covington froze salaries for longer than just about any other firm, and only just recently restored them. I don't think that bodes well for them if things get worse. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411367&forum_id=2#15937649) |
|
Date: September 1st, 2010 8:59 AM Author: aromatic stock car pretty much every firm did layoffs/deferrals/etc. Covington is one of the few that did not. I'd rather work somewhere where there is a salary freeze than the alternatives.
I don't think a safe firm is an untouchable firm. I'm not even sure there is such a firm (besides W&C and Wachtell). |
