Biglaw Healthcare folks, what do you do?

I’m at a small healthcare firm—I do a lot of work with CIN agreements and assessments (and a lot of related antitrust work). As well as joint ventures and transactions between hospital groups and physician groups. My work is national in scope.

I’ve been thinking about switching to big law for better pay. Does the work I do sound like the kinds of things you do or do I have a blind spot to what Big Law healthcare groups do?

I had cleared all the rounds in S&P and had salary discussion 1.5 month back. The HR is always saying the management is on leave and will soon get the approval and release offer.

Only 10 days of my LWD are left.

I am not finding a lot of stuff written for lawyers specifically , but there is a lot directed at “managers” in business generally that I imagine could be applicable.

Why are lawyers less friendly as colleagues than non-lawyers? I’ve worked both in-house and in firms and noticed lawyers tend to ignore each other. Compared to the multiple corporate events and initiatives that was quite a choc when I realized people in BL just come to the office, sit down, work and leave without even trying to have a conversation.

Just a thought to anyone considering doing a hand markup: if I'm going to need some Indiana Jones-esque ancient decoder shit to read the hieroglyphics that you call "hand writing", maybe just make comments in track changes instead.

Kleinberg Kaplan thoughts anyone?

Curious - would you consider a lateral move to a lower ranked firm if the practice group is higher ranked than at your current firm? In other words what’s more important - firm or practice group ranking?
