I heard it was Kirkland. MoFo is what the rest of the firm mumbled under their breath . . .

I heard they worked exclusively with the Clintons.

Huh?

At PC. Supposedly MoFo couldn’t break into the ECVC market and really only had one or two partners focusing solely on ECVC. They offered a ton of money to the team. PC isn’t happy of course haha but from what I know from associates who left the partner checks to come were insane.

They took from what I understand over 400 clients. I’ve heard millions. No idea if that’s normal or not

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!

If a partner asked you to do non-client related/may help later work, how long is too long to get back to them? Came to big law as a second year from a smaller firm (three years out).

I feel like if the partner needed it ASAP, they would have said so. I turned in the summary less than 72hrs later. Nbd/big deal?
