The charges LCS role does the initial investigation and witness interviews and writes the position statement. EEOC and state agency charges.

In charges, you are lead counsel on your matters and handle them from investigation until dismissal. For brief writers (or discovery, or early case evaluations), you receive assignments from associates and shareholders to perform your particular task. All CaseSmart positions are 1500 hours, fully remote, flexible, very few non-billable tasks.

like

It’s just 1500 per year, nothing required per week. But it will get hard to keep up with the work if you’re not working consistently. I know in charges you have flexibility with assignments and vacations but I don’t know about the other roles.

Aren’t you only writing position statements in that role?

I believe that’s the “charges” position

Conflicted between both as I believe Cisco has a better brand value and great company to work for. But the offer from Verizon is competitive.

Is it a good idea to renegotiate with Cisco based on current offer from Verizon. Please share your thoughts.
