WHAT WE'RE WATCHING
YOUR MONEY'S GOOD HERE - New York City: if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. But if you're a Big Law associate, what you make will likely go a lot further outside the Big Apple. Case in point: For the price of a 438-square-foot condo on the Upper West Side, you could buy a 3,144 square-foot home in Houston—with a (much needed) pool. As Law.com's Dan Roe reports, associates looking to stretch each dollar as far as possible should mull moving to Texas, the Southeast or the Rust Belt.
TURBOCHARGING TECH - Will the evolution of generative AI, with its fluency in coding languages, make software developers across the legal industry extinct? Not likely, experts say. Instead, as Law.com's Rhys Dipshan reports, genAI is expected streamline processes and improve overall efficiency, ultimately allowing developers to do more. "Generative AI is not going to replace developers at law firms, its going to increase the demand for developers," said Sebastian Lach, CEO of Hogan Lovells' legal technology brand and wholly owned subsidiary ELTEMATE, explaining that law firms will need pros to keep pace with tech advancement and to build software that can knock out low-value tasks.
ON THE RADAR - Attorneys from O'Melveny & Myers have entered appearances for United Airlines Holdings, a publicly traded airline holding company and parent company to United Airlines, in a pending employment lawsuit. The suit, for claims under the Private Attorneys General Act, was filed Aug. 6 in California Northern District Court by the Law Office of Jane C. Mariani on behalf of union workers who seek proper compensation for overtime hours worked. The case, assigned to U.S. District Judge Edward M. Chen is 4:23-cv-03939, Mullins et al v.
