Hi All,

People who have taken massive pay cuts at cushy jobs that they actually like decently well to go to a startup/ something risky - how did you get yourself comfortable with it ?

I have got an offer from Accenture with 21L fixed + 27% Variable + 15 % joining bonus with designation as a Associate Manager.

A unit in TCS is trying to retain me saying if they revise the ctc (from their unit bugedt) and provide an Indonesian onsite opportunity, will you revoke your papers. Is it worth taking this chance? The team is very small of just 10 people and I am not sure how much will they provide for onsite. Pls advice as not a single question was asked in the interview apart from expectations.

Hello Guys,

Could you please let me know how exactly to prepare for the L2 certification exam?

I left my old firm and started my own firm in September. I have already started to get client referrals and so far I am working from my home only - because it’s COVID time and people know Zoom now. I do estate planning and elder law, which lends itself to meeting clients at their locations when needed. I had a client drop off documents I need to review at my house this week and this was fine with the client. Do any attorneys here open their own home to clients ever for meetings?

Best places to look into for templates/forms etc. I have a good bank of these but need smth new here and there. Please help.

For a Rule 45 subpoena duces tecum, can I mail it to the stat agent for a company or LLC? I took a case over from another firm and they sent subpoenas with a process server who was unable to personally deliver the subpoenas to the stat agent. I have always just mailed them.

Example- I know a Employment attorneys who focus on specific claims against specific employers, and others who focus on really limited aspects of the tax code. What are your super niche fields?

Finishing up my first year of big law, thinking of starting my own practice while I work at my current position. Thinking that in a few months, I’ll concretely work solely for my own practice full-time. How difficult is it to gain clients (mainly PI and civil lit)? My mentor also offered me to be an off counsel while I’m working at my current job so that I can refer cases for a cut, would there be an ethical issue? FYI my firm does unrelated law to PI and doesn’t forbid doing extra work.

This may be a dumb question but— is it permissible to pay a vendor for a cost associated with a case through your business account’s zelle? Working on my first solo case and just wanted to be sure. Thank you.

I started my own practice, it feels like 40-50% biz development/ admin work. 30% practicing law and 10% coffee breaks. Anyone else? Mind you it’s a corporate practice so ALOT of calls that sometimes turn into nothing.

I believe improving one’s sales conversion rate is something everyone want to improve but no one wants to admit they would like to work it. Funny how lawyers will spend thousands on seminars to improve trial skills. But this topic is not discussed in our profession. I have read books in sales. But am unable to find any for lawyers. I want convert every lead I can. Does anyone have tips, books, cle’s or studied this topic?

Does anyone know of any resources to learn more about wills and trusts, bankruptcy (consumer and business) as well as tax? (IRS or EDD). I’m in California if that helps. Thanks!

I work at a small, 3 lawyer firm. One of the lawyers is not barred in the state we practice. Because of this, the managing attorney has been having him draft motions and other legal documents and use my name and bar number and having me file them because I will have to appear in court for the matter. Is this normal? I am not provided time to review the materials before I file them so I end up working longer days because I am nervous to file something using my name and bar number.
