Can anyone tell me specifically about the specialized Appellate Practice group at Lewis Brisbois? Ideally in California, but open to hearing about experiences with the same practice group in other states. Thank you!

Avoid LBBS in general.

Relatively small practice group, primarily based out of the LA and SD offices, although I think there's a guy in NY too.

LBBS is not a market rate paying firm, but you can make decent money ($250k-$300k+) if you can bill. My concern would be whether that group has the workload to bill enough to hit bonuses.

So I’m probably thinking too much. But I’m looking to leave public accounting and have an opportunity with internal audit. I want to make sure where I go I have good opportunities to advance and if needed be marketable to other companies. Do you think internal audit makes you more or less marketable to other opportunities in the future?

I’m at a mid size transactional firm. I’m a total night owl and my partners have OK’d me starting the workday at around 11am because I regularly work until midnight or later. I get so much more done after dark! I still get some side eye from other associates, but 🤷🏽‍♀️

Does anyone else here have an unusual work schedule? Curious what adjustments you’ve made to make it work.
