How long does it take to draft a complaint

Question for all my litigation senior associates/special counsel: are you getting the full court press on business development? Have you developed any new business and how did you go about getting that opportunity? I just feel like I am repeatedly running into a brick wall even though I am publishing articles, networking, and meeting with potential clients. I want to take the next step towards being a director but I feel like the requirement is daunting for a litigator.

What do you like most about litigation? I'm happily transitioning from corporate to litigation very soon and want to hear from people who actually enjoy their work. HAPPY ANSWERS ONLY!

Does anybody know what Akerman’s hiring timeline is like after the interview?

Anyone at Lewis Brisbois know what they’re changing the comp structure to for next year? I heard the billable target is being decreased and the bonus structure is being completely changed

What is your PTO policy at your firm?

I honestly hate iManage. It doesn’t work 75% of the time and it’s not productive for collaborating.

When should I start to get worried that corporate is so slow? Have only billed 230 hours for the year so far and it doesn’t seem like things are picking up soon so getting nervous since my firm has a billable hours minimum requirement.

Anyone ever been disciplined for being too busy? I’m 4th year lit who committed to too many cases without appreciating the time commitment required. My firm has no formal mentorship/structure, so no one’s regulating associate workloads. No juniors to pass work to as they are also slammed. I’m missing internal deadlines, but my work is always good and I’ve never prejudiced a client, etc. I’m worried about getting cut off by my favorite shareholder, but will he understand if I just explain?

How do I find a good therapist in my area? I don’t have any promising referrals from friends, so I’m having trouble figuring out where to start. I don’t have any specific issue I’m trying to sort out, just looking for someone to generally talk through some things and maybe offer a different perspective.

Work to Billable Ratio First-year: interesting observation after about three months of work, I bill about 2/3 of my “working time.” I’ve compared my productive days because I’ve had some pretty intense outliers recently. On days where I bill 8+, the work to bill ratio is exactly about 66%. Work 12, bill 8. Work 18, bill 12. Have you noticed any interesting trends about your billables like this?

Has anyone asked for a class year bump or does it not really make sense to do that? Everyone I work with agrees that I operate at least 2 years above my level and I’m wondering if it’s worth it to try to negotiate a one year class bump.

Transactional associates, how many deals should a junior be on at one time? Of course it will vary by involvement, but assume these are deals with either a midlevel and a partner or just the junior and a partner. Mainly thinking commercial real estate finance (borrower or lender side), but generally interested in all transaction areas.

Just seen news that Sidley is now the number 1 firm in Texas in regards to M&A. Anyone has any insight on the culture of their Houston and Dallas offices?
