Doing lateral interviews and have a screener scheduled with a firm — before law school I used to be a paralegal in one of their regional offices in a different practice group. Would it be worthwhile to reach out to the partner I used to work with before the screener? It was a lifetime ago, I haven’t been in contact with this partner in a while and I’m now in a very different practice group so I’m not sure how this would work and what I would even say

How do you bill your time? The busier I am the harder it is to bill. How do people actually bill contemporaneously in detailed terms when you bill 12 hours but literally did 100 different things in those 12 hours. And it’s never slow enough to go back and do it super detailed.

The NEP has a book of business, though no idea how much it brings in.

Advice for attacking the data room and putting together my first sell-side disclosure schedules? (Baby M&A att’y 2 months in).
