I put some cushioned draft stoppers under the doors and that's helped a bit, but I'm looking for more. I'm not sure what exactly works best for low frequencies like doors closing. Some $12/12 pack foam acoustic panels look promising, as does a $100 sound damper curtain...

Texas biglaw: let’s name & shame firms who expect us to go back to the office five days a week with no hybrid model going forward.

Personally, I will continue to WFH twice a week despite my firm “strongly encouraging everyone to be in the office once vaccinated.” Wtf are they going to do? I’m an adult and if I’m billing my hours, it shouldn’t matter.

So let’s name, shame, & make it clear to these firms and their boomer management that we will not go back to the pre-Covid miserable grind.

To those who has been in big law >3 years, what ways have you taken advantage of your accredited investor status? Any recommendations on good ways to use it?
(Will be accredited soon hopefully and interested in learning if there are opportunities).

Was talking to a colleague who told me every email she read she would bill as an additional .1 to her block bill for that matter. How common is this? If it’s very common then I am undercutting myself because I add max .5 at the end of the day to capture my email reading time when I might get 200+ deal related emails a day

4th year corporate associate. Mix of m&a and ECVC. Have not drafted many purchase agreements through this point in my career. Have to draft a buy-side merger agreement for a venture-backed target. Have never drafted a merger agreement and am feeling a bit overwhelmed by the task. Any tips and tricks from more senior m&a lawyers appreciated here.

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Any recommendations for podcasts related to funds/securities law/M&A or similar topics? I’m a first year (funds/funds reg) and was more interested in other areas in law school, so just trying to learn something and stay in the know. I already know about The Deal podcast.

Can we be honest for a second? No one has a clear policy for how we should be billing our time and no one wants to ask. I’ve heard perspectives ranging from, “a good faith estimate at the end of the week is sufficient” to “you need to have a timer going at all times and if you don’t turn it off when you pee, you’re committing an ethical violation”... also, “Bill anything that moves the deal forward” vs. “You can’t bill for collating documents. That’s not legal work.”

The feedback I keep getting is that I need to speak up more in meetings (im in a collaborative practice group and it’s awful). But when I do, I usually get shot down and feel like I’ve just shown everyone how dumb I am. How do you speak up when you have nothing to contribute?

People joke about billing for thinking about a matter, but I actually puzzle together a lot of stuff while I’m doing something like taking a shower. That’s a 0.2, no?

I appeared for a telephonic hearing to set a trial date but the judge and opposing counsel had no idea I had appeared because there was apparently another code you had to enter to unmute yourself.
