Any advice on speaking to a new client (initial contact) re. a new subject matter to me in ligation while no longer having supervision from a partner is welcomed...It's the initial conversation with the client that I'm apprehensive of. New role at a new firm. Currently researching the issues but how to "break the ice" with the client and sound confident in handling when I don't know the subject matter yet is what I am apprehensive about. TIA.

Can anyone help me wrap my head around this post Series C start-up equity offer? It’s an IP director position, the the base is $170 with 10% bonus (both lower than I was expecting). There’s also an equity component: 0.15% of current fully diluted equity. This equates to about 30000 shares at a strike price of $2. They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.
