Any experience with the NY ethics hotline? I’d like to consult about a personal-interest that may be a conflict of interest with work I am doing. I see they don’t give legal advice, so worried they’ll just tell me that its potentially an issue, which will just mean that I’m back to square one and there will be a record of me having recognized the potential conflict.

Very generic responses. I even contacted NYC bar association’s ethics hotline and was directed back to the NY ethics hotline. I believe they have several individuals available to respond. So it may depend on who answers you first.

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

I’m a second year associate and last night I was online until 2:30 AM waiting for one specialists comment to a purchase agreement. I had added all comments during the day from everyone else, and the midlevel and senior were online as well, but it seemed very strange to ask me to stay up just to add three sentences to a purchase agreement. Is this normal?

How do you deal with a manager / junior partner who is always nitpicking and questioning why you did what you did, or telling you what you did is the wrong way to do things? It’s generally prefaced with them only doing this to help you grow, but has the exact opposite effect on me. And then when you try to explain your POV, you’re tagged as being defensive. Generally ends me with saying I’m sorry. No other partners at the firm have ever raised any concerns on my communications or work product.
