Hey Desi Fam. I am in California but looking to move to the East Coast to be closer to my wife’s and my family as our kids are growing up. Started looking at northern suburbs of Atlanta and that area ticks all the boxes we are looking for - great schools, family based neighborhoods, and diverse population. Are there any Atlanta natives here who can help us narrow down the city and neighborhoods we could target. Would like to buy a medium sized home < $700k. Thanks

Have 50k in a checking account at a local bank getting no returns. I like having liquid assets since I support currently myself & girlfriend and any unexpected expenses my mother & younger brother have. Any advice how to calculate what I should keep on reserve vs. invest + learn about consequences of pulling investments early (more tax, fees, etc.). I feel like the inability to access funds when my family needs it has been the reason I haven’t invested outside of 401k and have this cash reserve

Hi IBM sharks,

I find it intriguing that Trump turned himself into a billionaire on his father’s investments. Then, he became President. Suddenly, all of the people he’s been doing business becoming a billionaire are now also billionaires fighting for the Trillionaire Club status. His net worth is probably going to surpass them all in the end. Quadrillionaire isn’t even in my keyboard’s dictionary yet...but it will be soon.

Imagine supporting this stuff––family separation, demolished environmental regulations, “very fine people,” and the rest––to get tax cuts... and thinking your grandkids will see you as the good guys.

I believe improving one’s sales conversion rate is something everyone want to improve but no one wants to admit they would like to work it. Funny how lawyers will spend thousands on seminars to improve trial skills. But this topic is not discussed in our profession. I have read books in sales. But am unable to find any for lawyers. I want convert every lead I can. Does anyone have tips, books, cle’s or studied this topic?

Advice for Of Counsel roles? I am of counsel at a firm where I can set my own rate and keep a percentage of collections, which varies slightly depending on whether the client is one I generated or not.

What is the right way for me to be compensated in this scenario?

Has anyone received equity as contingency comp? I have a potential client with a founders dispute. He doesn’t have cash, and the other founder ripped him off and is now running the company.

How normal is it to be pulled off a trial team because you tell your boss you are moving after trial? I have a trial coming up first week of Oct. This case has been my baby, and I’m going to try it with my boss.

He then gives my trial witnesses to another attorney, but is still going to make me do grunt work. Is he unreasonable or am I?
