Most of the attorneys are going to either Goodwin or Proskauer - about the same number of partners to each from what I hear, more associates to Goodwin. Goodwin is apparently throwing around some huge incentives and sign-on bonuses.
My impression -- Choate gets a bunch of dusty old-guarders and K&L gets a handful of IP lawyers, probably in each case self-sustaining groups without too many associates, though you always worry about old-guarders that they've become accustomed to compensation in excess of production just because of their longevity.
The rest of the Testa folks split among Piper, Greenburg, Edwards & Angell, Wilmer, many others. Big question is will the biggest winners be those who didn't play or those who went all out. Seems like at least some of the Testa work is finding homes away from the Testa partners. But no one will really know for a year or two how the groups are working out.
It sounds like almost all the attorneys will end up with jobs - anyone hearing differently?
