Curious about Polsinelli’s parental leave policy. Is it 14 weeks paid leave? Is there a ramp-up/ramp-down period? Interviewing for a possible shareholder position (in case that makes a difference).

Wish I had better info, but I'm not a parent. I want to say 3 months' paid but I'm spitballing. I know I've had two support staff and two attorneys (one SH, one associate) take six months or more.

I will say Polsinelli tries to do right by female attorneys and we have a major focus on women's initiatives and things like mat leave and flex schedules. Hope you find a great position!

It’s 14 weeks maternity leave with pro rated hours. There is a ramp down/ramp up but last I checked there wasn’t a policy set in stone. Many moms have taken more or come back part time then ramped up to full time.

14 weeks paid. Option to take more unpaid. We have associates and shareholders who take full advantage of it. And we have men who take a full month paid. And most important the leave is respected. People don’t get interrupted.

Serious billing question - if during the course of the day, you first receive an email from Client A at say 11:10am and you read it, you then respond to it at 12:20pm. You get another email at 2pm from Client A and respond immediately. The next email comes in at 4pm, you read it and respond only at 4:30pm. None of the email responses take more than 3-5mins. You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?

I lateraled from a small firm to regional big law last year. I was told that my offer was commensurate with class year (5th year).

The difference between my new salary and a first year is now $10k. I think it is fairly obvious that the hiring partner was not truthful with me. How would you address this? Is another lateral move my only option?
