Are there solos out there that are able to juggle a practice and still have a decent work-life balance where they can see family, eat healthy and maybe have a hobby? Many solos in my area are just as busy, if not more, akin to mid and big law attorneys. If you do have a work-life balance, how many cases are you handling and how many hours per day are you working?

Anyone in D’s federal SCM practice? Do you like it (the work, the people, WLB)? Thinking about applying....

I just screamed at my dad and walked out of our home.

This morning I was trying to get feedback from him on a business idea and his response was: Maybe you should focus on your career since you didn’t get a job in finance and had to settle for consulting, and you work at Deloitte... it’s a sweatshop. They didn’t even give you a fast track promotion did they?

This is a regular thing and it’s the fucking weekend. I could use a break.

Interested in hearing from anyone who jumped from consulting to an AD or D position in med comms / marketing or medical affairs role, in a pharma / biotech (not agency).

How have you found the new role, transition, WLB & TC ?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics

I believe improving one’s sales conversion rate is something everyone want to improve but no one wants to admit they would like to work it.

I want convert every lead I can. Does anyone have tips, books, cle’s or studied this topic?

He then gives my trial witnesses to another attorney, but is still going to make me do grunt work. Is he unreasonable or am I?

Former client( filed a bar grievance that was dismissed, sent me a demand letter that an attorney responded to on my behalf, and filed a BBB complaint against my non-BBB law firm) has now pro se filed a lawsuit against me in small claims court. Alleging misrepresentation, failure to file a lawsuit, and failure to advise during the process. I have phone logs, emails, and billing notes (all of which she has) that show she’s lying. Should I notify my malpractice carrier? All advice appreciated!

I work at a small, 3 lawyer firm. One of the lawyers is not barred in the state we practice. Because of this, the managing attorney has been having him draft motions and other legal documents and use my name and bar number and having me file them because I will have to appear in court for the matter. Is this normal? I am not provided time to review the materials before I file them so I end up working longer days because I am nervous to file something using my name and bar number.
