Pay ceiling & case load much better (at least if you are carrier side, no experience on policy holder side), half your stuff might be opinions or evaluations that can be one and dones, the rest litigation. Less depos and trial but heavy motion practice

Stupid question.. but as coverage counsel- who is your client ? The insurance company? The plaintiff ? How do you get the work?

My client is the insured. Hospital x gets sued for negligence or what have you. Hospital x has insurance policies in place that he expects to use to pay for defense in the litigation or cover any settlement or final award, but now insurance company is denying coverage claiming y, z. As coverage counsel, I represent the hospital in the dispute with the insurance company (not the underlying negligence claim although soooometimes my firm handles both). We also sometimes work with defense counsel in the underlying claim too to gauge the strength of the case and try to negotiate a settlement and get the insurance company to just pay that claim off if it makes sense, etc.

I am an associate at an AM200 firm and was (IMO) very clear prior to accepting this role that I value work-life balance and wanted to try to keep work at night on the weekends to a minimal, but since February, it seems like it’s always something that requires my time as needed disregarding “business hours” or my personal schedule. Thoughts on whether to bring this up or continue to be a team player until I burn out and pay off my student loans?

I have a deadline to respond to a Motion for SMJ in 1 1/2 weeks. I just found out that my grandparents who I haven’t seen since the start of the pandemic will visit this week. I want to spend as much time as possible with them but it will be hard with my response due. I really don’t want to tell the Court that I am seeking an extension for personal reason, what would be a good reason to provide? I clearly don’t want to misstate anything but is there some general, vague language that can be used?

I work in a firm that is known for litigation defense. I’ve been developing my own plaintiffs practice as well. I am able to pay the bills with my hourly defense work, which gives me time to focus on a handful of high value PI case a year on contingency. I was recently negotiating a case and was told part of the reason the claims rep/OC was jerking me around was because they didn’t see me as a plaintiffs attorney. Is there any way to change this perception or does it just come over time?

Does anyone work at a firm where legal assistants don't do legal assistant things? For example, I have to do my scheduling and calendaring. I have to upload documents to our file management system. This morning, a name partners assistant didn't realize the name partner had a depo and didn't confirm it. This is how this firm as been for decades and it's incredibly frustrating to work this way. It's so hard to not stress over this daily.
