12 yr. ID atty at AM200 firm. $175k. Last year I finally started sharing partner credit with a retiring partner on two major clients (which he actually promised even before). I received $500k in client responsible credit and I oversee 6 attorneys. I did not make partner this year bc my firm did not properly collect my bills. I’m on the verge but I feel like the dangling partnership carrot continues to remain an arms-lengt away. Should I switch over to plaintiff side PI for more $$?

Are you of counsel by chance? I would consider Plaintiff side if you’re good with being in the office from 7 am to 7 pm, and coming into the office on weekends. The main difference with Plaintiff side, is that the firm partner translates that the longer you are in the office, the more work you are doing. However, as you said, plaintiff has more potential for earnings. Based on your YOE, I wouldn’t settle for anything less than a juicy percentage split of the settlements.

For those who like litigation, but not personal injury and premises liability claims, why areas are you feeling the most traction in while looking for lateral moves to other firms?

I worked FT as a paralegal and went to law school in the evening. I recently interviewed at a small ID firm in employment law with about 9 attorneys. They asked for a writing sample. I dont have anything recent but provided what I had from last yr in a legal writing class, it was not enough for them. I became licensed this May so I dont have an array of motions to pick from. Then they asked for my undergrad transcript, at this point, I am now annoyed They are not Biglaw. Are they going overboard

It’s Friday night at midnight and I just got out of work. I am new to FPP defense. So far it’s soul crushing. I feel like a robot just doing the same pattern pleadings and discovery over and over.

Does it get better or do I need to plan my exit to a different field ASAP?
