By next month, Dallas-based Jenkens & Gilchrist may look a bit different.
Currently, the Dallas office employs the majority of the firm’s lawyers, 140 of 251 attorneys in six cities nationwide. But, according to one current and one former Hunton & Williams partner, the managing partner of another Dallas-based firm and a legal recruiter in Texas, all of whom request anonymity, Jenkens management is talking with Hunton & Williams management about a substantial number of lawyers from Jenkens’ Dallas office laterally moving to Hunton & Williams’ Dallas office.
