Not always. I’ve done depositions Christmas week. I also find sometimes plaintiffs become more eager to settle to get some money in their pockets for the holidays, so settlement negotiations pick up.

People stop answering emails as often, but sometimes there’s a rush to settle or you happen to have discovery deadlines that require a lot of work around the holidays. Last year I had two cases with discovery deadlines the first week of January. Judges wouldn’t move them, so I was in depositions all ever every week for December up until Christmas.

For those of you who made the switch to in house/corporate law, what was your experience like? Did you have to take a lower position to gain the experience or were you able to argue that your soft skills were transferable to in house? I’ve been in litigation for 15 years and I’m looking to make the switch. Ultimately, I’d like to get into Legal Ops, but feel getting some in house experience first would be beneficial.
