Transactional Lateral to Austin

Post by Anonymous User » Fri May 24, 2019 5:37 pm

Second-year HTX corporate associate considering lateral move to Austin as wife was accepted to long-term grad program.

What’s the market like for transactional associates in Austin? Is this career suicide?

Austin is a very tough and insular legal market. Big firms have tried to set up there and failed. I see the legal market there as fairly small. Even Texas firms that do well in Dallas and Houston have failed in Austin.

Find you an established player.
