Things aren't looking good for Mintz Levin. Partners are leaving, profits are dropping, and they've made major cuts of support staff. Now they're bribing incoming first-year associates to walk with $20k or stay with a $3k per month stipend (deferring to next fall) and a non-compete agreement.
That's a pretty raw deal. At least Brobeck is including incentives to work in the public interest in their plan.
