Winstead Rescinds Offer 4 Days Before Start Date

Dallas-based Winstead has rescinded offers to two incoming first-year associates, including one who was contacted just four days before she was due to start work today. According to the firm, four first-years started work in September 2009 and another five were set to start work today, but the firm rescinded one offer in September and another on Thursday. "They just said there wasn't any work for me," says the lawyer who received the call from the firm on Thursday.
