What is that in dollars down south

There's a chart floating around that shows billing rates for many of the nation's top firms, broken down as low & high end for associates and the same for partners. It is amazing how much less the Southern firms charge - especially the New Orleans ones. It's a few years old so I'm sure no longer strictly accurate but there were partners at Jones Walker only billing $190/hour.

In the Deepwater Horizon litigation, they had partners from DC firms billing out at $500 sitting next to local attorneys billing at $250.

Working with Sidley Austin on a case. Their partner is around $1200/hr and the associates are all over $500. We are like wtf at our firm.

I'd be shocked if Jones still has partners billing at 190/hour.
