Partner went to bat for me! 🙂
Last night, I got a nastygram from a client who basically wanted to forego due diligence in a major buyout we’re helping him with. “Stop requesting documents and just draft me my docs.” But we literally don’t know who owns what right now, terrible corporate records. This morning, the partner told me he’ll probably fire this client, big pat on the back.

For those who have opened their own practice, what type of law do you do? What market are you in and how much do you profit? Have you hired other attorneys (if so, how many)? How much experience did you have when you decided to go out on your own? And is your schedule more or less flexible than when you worked elsewhere?

What types of lit mid law or boutiques are better WLB than big law? Is this even a thing or just a myth?

Is there a specific law that allows landlords to put a restriction on the number of days am overnight guest can stay? I have been researching for hours and can't find any case law or statue. Help! (In Texas)

Closing is scheduled for Friday, and client (buyer) just informed everyone (lender, lender's counsel, seller, seller's counsel, and us) that they decided to have another affiliate take title to the property. Never mind all the signature pages are sitting in escrow. It's these moments that make me hate transaction.

Anyone here work at fundrise? Been working at a REIT and looking to pivot. Lots of job openings at fundrise have caught my attention but not sure which group I’d be the best fit.

Looking to get ANC headphones: B&O? Bose? Apple? Quality and durability are key factors.

FRM 🐠, what is the best study materials for the exam?

Is it mandatory to come office 2 days per week in CBA?Any way that we can do WFH 5 days a week?

I can’t get over how meaningless my life is. I feel stuck in a dark tunnel with no light at the end. I don’t know what I’m doing in life. It’s overwhelming and makes me cry over every little thing. Is it too much to ask for me to just be happy in life? I’m 26 but I feel like this is all life has to offer.

What are some perks of the Ritz?? I’m staying here for the next few weeks but I don’t get the hype

Hi fishes, where can I find payslip in hcl portal

Happy Friday! Please comment your YOE and LPA.. I'm felling low.

🐟 - I rolled over $100K from old employer 401K to Fidelity Rollover IRA. What implications does it have on my ability to do backdoor IRA? We do not qualify for Roth due to income limits. TIA.

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash. Assets are down a decent amount with the current market cycle and I’d prefer not to sell them to cover the debt , although they easily could. Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?

Wow! What a day! What type of company starts layoffs right before the holidays? Lost my job this morning and I am stressed out. Is there any chance of finding a new job before the holidays? I'm doubting it.

Partners, how would react if you had to call an analyst and heard:

"Hi this is X... Hello?... Hello? Oh hi, this is X. Who is this?... Oh hey how's it going? *pauses for 5 seconds or so *

Leave it at the voicemail, thanks! *BEEP*"
