any litigators specialize in mass torts/ product liability/ MDLs? I’ve been in general lit at a big firm for 3 years. I was just offered a position in a mass torts group at another big firm. Seems like a great team but I’m not sure I want to pick that specialty. Any advice?

What city? I’ve been in a mass torts group at a big firm for 4 years. It’s very high volume and you have to enjoy trial and depos. WLB is hard to find depending on how many are going on at once.

My former firm has a very large practice in this area. It’s virtually impossible for associates and junior partners to get standup trial roles, as those gigs are often assigned to very experienced lawyers — often at multiple firms for the same trial. Something to ask about if you want to be a stand up trial lawyer.

Looking for advice: I have an analyst (9 months on the job) who still doesn’t get it - repeatedly misses comments, doesn’t follow instructions, slow, etc. I have raised this to both my MDs and they seem to be adopting a “not my problem” approach when I mention it. I had advised against hiring this analyst post internship and my MD insisted that all the issues I highlighted were fixable. I have tried teaching him to no avail and frustration with him is growing. Any suggestions for how to handle?

they cannot counter it and it looks genuine and safe as well.
I do not want to say that I am leaving because I am getting another offer.

Stub year in a free market firm frustrated about hours. Everyone was complaining about being slow last month, but it seems most passed 100 hours and I only got 60.

I can’t help but think I don’t fit in here and people don’t like me - especially because I went to a lower-ranked school, grew up poor, and am neurodivergent so networking is hard for me. Whole system feels very nepotistic. I just want to give up.

I work at a ‘free market’ firm and have developed a very good reputation among partners. Naturally, they are drowning me in work. Each time a new case comes up, the partner will email asking if I have “time and interest” in helping. When I’m at capacity, I take these words at face value and explain why I can’t do it, and that seems to work out ok with no hard feelings. But what’s the “interest” thing? If I don’t want to work on a toxic tort case, do I just say that and pass?
