Do you guys have any insurance on your work tech, I use my own personal phone and laptop but realised that I have no insurance on them if anything happens to them. What do you guys do?

No insurance, everything is backed up so I could access the info if that ever happened. But I feel like the insurance plans are usually not needed unless you just have a bad reputation with tech and I'm partial to not throwing money away.

Oh okay, I was thinking of getting a good external hard drive to store some work bits.

I have personal insurance on my phone due to bad previous experiences but unfortunately it’s not supported by my work or anything.

Oh that’s fair enough, at least it’s insured! I wonder if some companies include insurance on devices?

No, no insurance on phone or computer (though I have insurance if they were stolen from my house). I never looked into insuring a phone or a computer but I assume it wouldn't be cost effective.

Yes that makes sense!

I dont but maybe I should, this is a good idea!

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel.

SP did a few parts but went rogue and did things that were offensive/risky/bad for client. It became clear that SP is not performing like SP used to and may be a liability. Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.
