I wonder if it would be possible for a firm’s marketing team to make a couple fishbowl accounts 🤔

Lmao is it that surprising to you that someone actually likes their law firm? I’ve had a good experience here after some very negative experiences at other firms. And my advice to you as a judicial law clerk would be to focus hard on fit. Clerks have a unique opportunity to vet firms with the context of some years of practice (or at least friends in practice) and without worrying about a current firm finding out you’re interviewing behind their back. I vetted firms extensively before joining squire because I wanted to find the best fit for me. I think there are many people who may not do well here. But for my practice and my experience level it’s been a very positive thing.

Happy to discuss. I like it here. As with any firm with 1500+ lawyers, experiences may vary among different offices and groups. I have almost universally positive things to say based on my experience though. People don’t bug me on the weekends, lots of opportunities, and I haven’t come across anyone I really dislike despite working with many partners in many different offices. I like the people and it’s a good fit for me. The work is interesting and my practice is varied, which I enjoy.

I have been at Squire for two years now and I love it. Hours are reasonable, partners are great mentors and I do have a work-life balance.

Hi, are you in the London office?

75-80% of the time I like working at SPB. I like the people and I usually don’t get bothered on the weekend. 1950 billable requirements and salary is somewhat less than market.

Agree w/ other comments here—vast majority of the time I love working at SPB. Don’t get bothered on weekends/vacations with pretend rush projects. I’m in a low COL city so my comp is WAY above other firms here, but it is less than market in NYC/LA/DC. Structure is much less eat what you kill than other places as well… I’ve worked at other firms and the culture here is above and beyond what I expected. Have only worked for a couple of ppl I truly disliked and it was easy to avoid them going forward. Commercial litigation senior associate here.

it’s a good place. Unlike attorney 1, I’m in a high COL city and am grossly underpaid. Most people are great but there are some to avoid. There’s going to be some bad apples among the 1,500 🤷‍♂️

Looking for input on how to handle a direct leader that is hot &cold. 1 yr ago my leader promoted me & has indicated she wants to mentor me to take her role when she retires (director). However, her behavior towards me changes from week to week, sometimes she is very supportive and encouraging then she switches to making critical or harsh indirect comments that are not about the results of my work but imply she would do it differently. How would you handle approaching this with your superior?

I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know.
