Have any of you had to report unethical attorney conduct to your firm GC / management committee? What’d you say and did you have outside counsel?

It’s not an accusation to make lightly. Might be worth talking about with a mentor first.

The fact that you’re talking about outside counsel makes this very mysterious.

Unless someone is stealing, I would personally probably just… not. Tbh. Stealing and sleeping with judges are the only things the ethics committees actually care about.

If your state has an ethics hotline, I’d probably start there.

My work friend had to let management know about someone who was getting really drunk at work and doing some malpracticey things. Tight knit group (my friend and management both really cared about the alcoholic), so it was all just handled with a conversation.
My spouse had to report sexual assault, just let a trusted partner know. Firm hired an outside investigator but no outside counsel.

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

Not only did I attempt to confer on 3 separate dates, I attached the emails and his response that he refused to confer to my motion. Judge didn’t care, as soon as she heard him say we hadn’t conferred she denied the motion. Not asking a question, just needed to vent.
