Depends on office. You will be busy but it will certainly be a refreshing change from ID (you will have some EPL cases but not all). WLB depends. My experience is generally you won’t be bothered on a weekend or too late unless there’s something really pressing happening. All depends who you work with! Billables required are 1850. It’s not hard to hit those hours. Comp is not bad and getting better- it’s nowhere near Cravath scale but definitely better than ID shops and most firms in mid law. People are generally great and smart.

Agree that it's very office dependent.

Is it common in the industry for licensed insurance agents to not get any commissions on a referral in which you personally write the policy? Ex: If a current client refers a prospect to our team, I would not receive commission. Additionally, if I write a policy for friends/family I would get a small incentive but it’s a fraction of the commission producers make.
Management is considering changing this going forward. However, I’m not sure how I should react if they keep things how they are now.
