I wish I could! I loved the experience last year

I’ve never been—maybe someday.

You should ask your firms (1 year in advance), especially if they are AMLaw or bringing in significant money. Even if not, set aside some money (its costly), and budget to attend on your own. You can write these off on taxes usually. CYOC is great for making connections, building relationships, and finding new jobs (if you want) but you have to be present and put yourself out there. Make the business case for it to your practice groups and culture committees. But be smart about it. Budgets are requested at least 1 year in advance. You have to sell it to the firm if they don't already know about.

Question: I have a client who started a restaurant. He leased the land and bought shipping containers where he spent money contracting out to turn them into bars. I’m having a tough time determining how to depreciate this! First thought was leasehold but he’s not making improvements to a structure...he owns the structure! But nonresidential real estate at 27.5 years doesn’t make sense either as it’s not a brick and mortar building. Curious on others thoughts! TIA

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX. I just got my first job offer and I was worried at first thinking that I was in “Trump” territory, but I tested the waters in my interview and spoke about police injustices and how prosecutor’s job is not only to protect victims, but also defendants from police injustices. I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?

Does anyone feel like it’s difficult to gain acceptance and find allies when you’re a POC? I have attended happy hours, social events, and lunches, but I am not getting the same amount of traction as the other new lawyers who are white. Don’t know whether I should keep trying or just give up. Also don’t know whether it’s my personality or people at the firm. 😢
