Second rounds are (usually) with principals and partners. They are usually pretty straightforward so I wouldn't bother much, it's better to just do like a casual (but professional) conversation, like "what is like to lead the practice"; but don't force it.

That being said, one good question to say if you can't keep the conversation flowing is " what are the things a consultant/associate/whatever must have, should have and are nice to have as soft and hard skills?"

Favorite project? Brownie point if you ask about “impact”, but don’t go over the top. Everyone loves to tell war stories/ talk about themselves. Or their plans / upcoming work.

Thanks guys!

I am a personal injury defense attorney and I’ve never done plaintiff’s work. I have a case where I suspect the plaintiff is malingering and exaggerating his injuries. The plaintiffs attorney has sent me multiple demands for $3 million dollars and basically begged me to respond with some offer. I’ve told him the truth - my client has no interest in trying to settle if his demand remains about twenty times higher than the actual worst case (for us) jury verdict. More in comments...

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?
