Can any attorneys here share what it means if you are not “billing enough hours?” Does it simply mean that you are not working and charging a client enough? Additionally, how do you charge a client more? Do you have sell your value-add/bring on more cases/clients? I do not have a law background and am curious about the economics

Does anyone know a good trainer in nyc who works with folks with prior injuries (acl/shoulder issues) ?

Yikes! Some days, I just can’t stand my job

Ugh. I was stuck on a call and forgot to buy my Powerball tickets online. Now I’m hoping there’s no winner so I could win on Wednesday. I could’ve been an almost billionaire.

I’m an internal consultant of a bank, a bit tired of the internal administration and bureaucracy. Just wondering if you have to deal with the same if you work in a consulting firm instead?

What are the chances of a H1b change of employer getting rejected. Moving from a EY to Mastercard. Considering the reputation & size of the two companies it should be smooth right? Just nervous and want everything to go right.

I have an asset purchase of a retail store transaction. Seller is keeping the second location. Seller is licensing the name from the buyer. The licensing agreement is supposed to contain provisions so that the seller cannot offer promotions or discounts that the buyer does not also offer (i.e., seller cannot undercut buyer's pricing). I know very little about antitrust. Can anyone give me some suggestions how to enforceably draft this agreement, or is this arrangement impossible?

Are there State/federal (or other laws) that govern the closure of a store? The entity owns other stores and will not be dissolving. Just shutting down one of its stores.

Do any real estate lawyers out there know of/can direct me to a ROFO agreement to purchase commercial property? I’m working on one now (but using a ROFO to purchase equity interests as a basis) and would like to see what other people are doing. Finding a good one has been hard, as this kind of thing isn’t always required to be filed with the sec and every search I’ve done basically pulls up garbage. Also, are there any provisions you’d consider absolutely crucial from the owner’s side?

Junior associate here, should I ask for more money if my firm is about 10-15 percent less hours but about 30 percent less pay? The gap will never be closed to the top pay scale at my firm but when I decided to come to this firm the pay difference was about 15 percent and not 30. Would appreciate any thoughts on how to go about bringing this up without pissing people off because I love the firm and do not want to leave
