Major litigation practice groups hiring in Houston?
Houston's got a strong transactional bent, and I'm struggling to figure out who might be hiring in their litigation groups. Any advice or suggestions on this?

Re: Major litigation practice groups hiring in Houston?
Not OP but wanted to give this a bump as it's highly relevant to my interests. Anyone with insight on Houston lateral market for litigation?

Re: Major litigation practice groups hiring in Houston?
Sorry to interfere, but I'd also appreciate transactional practice groups in Houston that are hiring.
In case anyone has some inner knowledge.
Thanks!!

Re: Major litigation practice groups hiring in Houston?
Since most of the traditional big firms have scaled back lit in Houston, doubt there's much hiring going on. Norton Rose Fulbright is the largest litigation firm, but I've heard they are struggling, probably aren't hiring that much. Houston has a bunch of boutiques, I would try them out. Susman, Yetter, Beck Redden, AZA, so on.

Re: Major litigation practice groups hiring in Houston?
Are these boutiques feasible without a clerkship? I'm a 3rd year at NYC V5 with strong ties to Houston, but it seems like nearly all of the associates at these firms have had clerkships.Anonymous User wrote:Since most of the traditional big firms have scaled back lit in Houston, doubt there's much hiring going on.

Re: Major litigation practice groups hiring in Houston?
Yes, most of these boutiques are extremely selective and generally require clerkships (AZA is on the less selective side, in relative terms). Having said this, I've heard that Gibbs & Bruns (which might be 2nd most selective right after Susman) doesn't formally require clerkships. But they're super grade-sensitive. You probably need grades that would have been good enough to get a good circuit clerkship at the very least.Anonymous User wrote:Are these boutiques feasible without a clerkship?

There are some big firms that do maintain active lit practices though. Someone mentioned NRF. Another is Hogan or King & Spalding.
