Paul Weiss’ meteoric rise in the M&A league tables is a testament to the power of strategic talent acquisition. By bringing in top corporate rainmakers like Scott Barshay and making bold lateral investments, the firm has transformed from a litigation powerhouse into an M&A leader—outpacing storied Wall Street firms. This shift underscores the evolving legal market, where firms willing to invest aggressively in talent can redefine their competitive position. In today’s lateral landscape, the right hires don’t just add capacity—they reshape entire practice groups. #LegalRecruiting #LawFirmGrowth #M&A #LateralMoves

2024 was a watershed year for Big Law partner compensation, with elite firms stretching pay spreads, increasing bonus pools, switching to “black box” and adding nonequity tiers and “super” tiers. The trend is just beginning, as more than 1/3 of the country's top law firms plan to change their equity partner compensation models over the next two years. While some partners will clearly benefit from the increased compensation, many partners will feel negatively impacted, which is bound to create ripple effects throughout the partner lateral market.
