Any tips how to get a partner (who is new to our group but has been at the firm forever) to stop undermining me in front of clients/witnesses/etc? I’m a 5th year. This repeatedly happens where I have the relationship with X, and he comes in immediately talking over me & all his commentary reeks of “oh 😉we are going to let her handle this call/this deposition/this meeting😉” and providing useless/redundant/wrong info before letting me do my job. Btw - work other partners freely give me w autonomy

You have a few options, and I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive:

1) Talk to him about it (or have the client say something). I don’t know how far this will get you, but sometimes it almost embarrasses them out of this behavior if they realize how badly it’s landing with the client.

2) Keep being a hyper competent badass. He may eventually learn to trust you like the other partners do.

3) Say something to the other partners you work for, especially any partners who manage these clients.

4) Just enjoy the shared “can you believe this guy?!” glance with your clients. It’s another thing that will build a rapport with them, whether you choose to comment or not (err on the side of not commenting).
