Agreed to serve as local counsel for another attorney in my firm (different office). Answered complaint and then the case fell off the rails. Turns out firm has a conflict of interest that was missed in initial check, client has been instructed to retain a new attorney, court has ordered us to withdraw and client to produce documents by Wednesday. I keep reaching out to the attorney who I am assisting to ask if I can file my withdrawal and for the name of the new attorney and nothing. (Cont.)

Non-accounting: Now I only want to be spoon fed. I am so tired of being both planner and executor in 10 out of 10 projects. In any new project all I have is a request from my boss, often times with vague requirements. They drain my brain energy.

Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?

Is it normal for doormen to get involved in personal lives? I made small talk with my doorman as I was on my way out to meet a friend who was waiting outside my building. When the doorman saw my friend (who’s a male, I’m a female), the doorman immediately asked where my bf is. I’m guessing he was suspecting me of cheating? My friend isn’t interested in women, but I didn’t feel the need to “out” him in order to defend myself… is this normal? I feel judged 😅

What does your opposing counsel do that pushes you over the top and just makes you want to settle the case? (Plaintiff and defense answers welcome). Mine: requesting 15 depositions of people that will never be called at trial.

Anyone have advice on how to graciously leave a very small law firm? I’m the only full time associate and feeling guilty about leaving. I have an in house offer that I’m extremely excited to take however and I want to give notice early so the transition won’t be too bad. I’m just nervous and hate that I have to have this convo. My current employer doesn’t know I was looking for a new job.

Has anyone heard of (or worked with) a company “how to manage a small law firm?” Based in Florida.

My firm recently updated the Intapp Time app and it seems to be capturing my time more aggressively than the previous version. E.g., Composed email to X, edited doc Y, viewed email from recruiter Z? Yo!! How do I shut the damn thing off? Stuff is creepy to me. No doubt Big brother's watching.

How is the transactional corporate tax group at Akin different than M&A?

I’m planning on leaving my firm at the end of the year. I know the general advice is to take the high road and say it’s just really good opportunity and not say anything negative, but what about the partners who have been absolutely awful to me? Just say nothing to them, or suck it up and say something nice?

An associate left our group in January. Then another one in April, and two more now. Each and every time, the equity partner in our group has made a point of telling us who stayed how they were making a terrible mistake. And zero words on how we could MAYBE have a talent retention issue. Should I say anything?

Illinois condominium act? Upstairs unit’s HVAC leaked and caused damage to our unit. HOA agreement says damage caused by omission is waived if covered by insurance.

My firm rarely fires associates right away and instead just stops giving them work until they literally have no work and then will fire them and say it’s because their hours aren’t good. How common is this and why do firms do it? It seems incredibly cowardly.
