Summer Offer Rate Open Thread: Happy Happy Joy Joy!

This email messages from a reader is representative of many we’ve received, as well as many comments on recent posts:

As a Biglaw summer associate waiting to hear about my future, I’d really like the site to focus on and publicize firms that give offers to all or most of their summer classes. [Last week’s] story entitled “Summer Offer Rate Open Thread” generated tons of discussion at my firm from associates and summers.

I know it will likely not control any hiring partner’s decisions, but you realize your site generates buzz and has some say in how students/other associates view firms. If you continue to publish summer offer rate stories, both good and bad, the site may be able to contribute to a higher summer offer percentage. Good job otherwise, I’ll keep reading.

You want to talk about summer associate offer rates? Fine, let’s talk about summer associate offer rates. Here’s the eagerly awaited follow-up to our earlier post on the subject. Have at it, in the comments.
We’ll kick off the discussion with some positive news. Negative news, at least under one of our bylines, will come later. Before we report out negative news, we need to talk to the firms in question first — you know, due process, journalism ethics, etc. That reporting will take time. We’re a small operation, and we’re short staffed this week, with Elie out on vacation. (If YOU want to share negative news on offer rates, of course, feel free to post in the comments.)
But who wants to hear negative news anyway? Get your fix of happily high offer rates, after the jump.

Recession? What recession? We’re hearing that offer rates were at or near 100 percent at the following places (but please email us if we’re wrong):

— Davis Polk (New York; in our prior post, we noted that the first wave of summers got 100% offers; now we’re told that the second wave did too);

— Jones Day (New York);

— Kasowitz Benson (New York);

— Simpson Thacher (New York);

— Vinson & Elkins (New York).

Please note the qualifying language: “at OR NEAR 100 percent.” In our last post, we mentioned that Weil Gotshal in New York “had a close-to-100% offer rate.” One can debate the meaning of “close”; one source reports that between five and ten SAs were no-offered in New York. Assuming a summer class of about 100, that translates to a 90-95 percent offer rate.
Feel free to talk about Biglaw offer rates in the comments. If you have particularly interesting info, please email us (subject line: “Offer Rate”).
Update (3:20 PM): We’re also hearing at or near 100 percent offer rates for:

— Debevoise & Plimpton (New York); and

— Skadden (New York).

We realize that sometimes no-offered folks are shy about coming forward. Please do email us if you think we are incorrectly crediting a firm with a high offer rate. Thanks!
Update (4:43 PM): In response to this commenter, we hear that Quinn Emanuel in New York had a 100 percent offer rate (or something close to it).
Update (4:50 PM): This tip was amusing:
