A couple partners set aside time to help me on something they didn’t have to (non client-related). What’s the best way for me to show my appreciation?

Just tell them thanks and you really appreciate the help.

I don't think you need to give them a gift or anything, but a thank you note would be appreciated. And, then continue to knock things out of the park - show them they made a good choice investing their time in you. And consider volunteering for an initiative that they're leading. I once had a mentor who was a really active volunteer for a nonprofit organization. It was personal to her because of her family situation so when I found out she was leading a big fundraising event for the organization, I volunteered to help. It further strengthened our relationship and I got to learn more about a cool nonprofit.

Is it important to offer support staff that speak a foreign language or is it sufficient if the attorney can communicate with the client? We had one bilingual paralegal and another who is not. The bilingual one left us some time ago.

Thus, we are left with one who can’t communicate with about 25% of our clients. And there just isn’t enough revenue to support two paralegals despite my partner pushing us to hire.

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??

Would you feel comfortable telling HR that your service line’s culture sucks and name the individuals who cause it?
