Conflicts checks question: thinking about making a move from small(ish) firm to a larger one. How detailed will a conflicts list need to be? Haven’t switched jobs since law school, so at a little bit of a loss about the whole process!

I recently went through this as a second year corporate and RE associate moving from 50 atty firm to 400 atty firm. New firm provided the form of conflict check. I provided a list of all clients I’ve represented (ie the legal names of the entities I represented). I was only asked to provide adverse parties where the client is coming with me, but this is likely firm-dependent. My list contained approximately 200 clients and conflicts cleared in two business days.

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus. I was hoping for an offer closer to 90k base and I don’t care too much for a sign on bonus. However, this is a lot more than what I’m making now, and would be my first SWE job. Should I counter? If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!

A client developer group just told me they reached terms to “buy equity in a lease.” From what they’ve told me, if we were setting this up fresh, I’d do a new LLC and easily handle capital contributions, buy-sell, etc. in the new LLC agreement. However, here the partner had a long-term lease on the underlying RE that our group wants to develop as a concept. Lease assignment to new LLC is dicey, but I’m thinking maybe we set up a Mgmt services company to contract w/ the partner-tenant entity?

Any advice on shifting from association law to commercial real estate in FL?

I'm at 1yr+ doing HOA/condo work but have had no opportunity to do real estate transactions like I expected. Seems like the only way to get the experience is to have nailed a big law gig right out of school and get put into that practice.
