Anyone renegotiated a contract when asked for an extension? Current gig is day rate but the work has been insane lately, 70-80hr weeks and some weekend work. Have a lot of stuff going into production would love to see through but feel like it’s definitely turned into a hands on CD role in both the workload and managing junior teams and want to ask for $100-$200 more a day and 1.5x for any more weekend work. Any tips?

I would definitely ask for more. And it isn’t an accident that they’re giving you CD level work either. In fact, this has been going on for 4 years now. They do this b/c it’s cheaper to pay an ACD to do CD level work, than it is to pay a legitimate CD what they rightfully deserve. They know exactly what they’re doing.

I have and they agreed to what I asked for. I think it’s one of those “the worst they can do is say no” situations.

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!

Funny how lawyers will spend thousands on seminars to improve trial skills. But this topic is not discussed in our profession. I have read books in sales. But am unable to find any for lawyers. I want convert every lead I can. Does anyone have tips, books, cle’s or studied this topic?
