It's a growing field, but ymmv. A lot of firms are "trying" LPM right now but don't have more than one or two practice groups that are actually using the function well.

It has a strong future because the rise in legal ops within legal departments requires the rise of LPMs to meet those demands. But it's new.

Before going into it, I'd check to see the maturity of the LPM group, its size, the qualifications of the LPM leadership.

Definitely looking to get into LPM, especially before it becomes too big (I assume it will)

Plaintiffs counsel took my clients deposition today. He mentioned that he would likely be ordering the transcripts and I suggested we split the cost of them (in front of court reporter). He got pretty defensive and said absolutely not, it’s unfair to the court reporter, and that it is frowned upon in the industry to do that. Each party orders (and pays for) their own copy. I’m in my 2nd year of practice, never heard such a thing. I’ve actually split the cost before! Curious for insight on this…

I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know.
