Generally speaking, what should an associate do when s/he can’t establish a line of communication with the partner/sr. assoc. for reasons undisclosed/unknown and the client is demanding immediate turnaround on a doc for OC that said partner agreed to provide for review in writing the day before? Should I continually harass the junior partner to approve said jr ‘s draft w/ jr. updates? Try to handle on own amidst client status requests? Ask another junior and/or senior partner how to handle?

Definitely escalate this to whomever is more senior than you on the deal. I would forward the emails to the jr. partner on the deal. Assuming you're not like a 4-6th year and/or a recent lateral, it's definitely not your call to make. The senior associates and junior partners should be coming over the top rope to tell them to chill/ help them with whatever it is that's needed.

How long have you been at firm / how well do you know partner and client? Depending on those things… Harass until the last possible minute and then say “if I don’t hear from you in an hour I am sending with a note that you are still reviewing and may follow up with additional comments”

I would try not to do that. Either the deadline was not that important and if the deadline was really important you do not want a wrong document to go out (eg negotiation comments to the other side which could give your client a disadvantage).

Hi all. I started a new role with a company I’ve been with for 2 years. The role is very much an SME role and can be quite boring sometimes.

My first thought was performance issues but manager confirmed not that. It’s getting really boring and need more engagement. What should I do?

There is a good case for higher year end bonuses this year. All in comp is down in 2022 taking into account special bonuses last year. So unless PPP takes a real hit, I’d like to see a modest bonus increase. Doubt PPP is going to be down by that much (in many cases not at all) for the top 30 firms. And with firms trimming fat, that should mean higher bonuses for those that are left. Idk about the rest of you, but my firm feels as busy as ever (M&A).
