Favorite non-fiction book you'd recommend to a new lawyer?

Who is the easiest account to work but still exciting and innovative with regards to digital media? Specifically in LA?

I’ve been reading alot of Les Binet books/reports I’m new to how proper advertising work! I’m mostly focused on digital. But now wanting to get a grip of the bigger picture!

Les Binet mentions alot about brand building and activations, sometimes he will point to out to similar case studies and he would say this is brand building and this is an activation but they are very similar?

Is there books? Coaches? Resources to explain brand building vs activations? W examples for the QSR sub sector?

I am in sixth year at a top firm in Toronto. I’m considering lateraling to another firm that does very similar work to what I’m currently doing, essentially because I strongly dislike the culture at my current firm. If you have lateraled for a culture-related issue, what do you wish you had asked before signing? Do you think there is a way to truly suss out culture before working somewhere? I have several law school classmates at this new firm so will obv ask them.

Which law school has the best professorship?

Third week of doc review. I’m going cross eyed and running out of steam. How do you keep up accuracy and reassure yourself when you realize you have the “I just drove home but I don’t remember it” feeling? Also because I’m WFH I keep delaying and procrastinating and it’s eating into my real life.

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

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.

I’ve been watching Jeopardy and feeling very stupid. Can anyone make a recommendation of an interesting book that would educate me? Open to all issues or topics. Just not advertising.

I joined fishbowl a month ago and while I’ve seen a couple contentious debates but I must say I’m pleasantly surprised at how respectfully ppl comment on this app even when disagreeing. Usually anonymity on the internet brings out the absolute worst in ppl; they type things anonymously that they would NEVER say in person smh. But I really haven’t seen horrible comments here. I wonder what makes this app diff frm others?

Feel like I’m going to turn out to be a loser doing ID and be making crap money forever.

PARTNERS, would you hire a top school European attorney after an LLM and the NY bar ? Trilingual, civil and common law background. Arbitration.

Confused why Wachtell qualifies as BigLaw when they have one (small) office

Close to stepping up to an ACD position, but I'm very aware that I suck at presenting. Practice is not making me perfect, people. What should I do!!??

What is the expectation at your firms about coming into work after making your billable hours requirement? Asking especially for those who do not get a bonus per extra hour billed over the minimum.

I feel like I’m always spending either too much or too little time on assignments. Never in the “sweet spot”

Any Adobe attorneys willing to chat about and/or refer for Privacy Counsel position?

Dog friendly gyms in nyc?

Had my first egg retrieval a few weeks ago. Still trying to comprehend what happened. All my ultrasounds and blood work came back perfect. In the end, I had 30 follicles and they were only able to retrieve 3 eggs. Our embryologist said my egg quality was very poor and one had been dead for a long time. None of my tests ever indicated any issues. I have tested my egg reserve twice and everything came back normal. Any thoughts/advice? I’m really at a loss for words.

Does anyone have recommendations for thought leaders/influencers in the M&A space? Looking for blogs, books, YouTube videos? Not currently in the space, trying to learn more as I’m thinking about a pivot after a few years in consulting/startups

Fully expect this question to generate a lot of snarky replies but: what types of non-M&A roles could I pivot to with 10 years experience of PMI/execution work (consulting+industry)? I’m tired of deal work.

Does anyone else have a constant nagging feeling something bad is going to happen?
