Help please, dear community. How do you calculate how much retainer to ask before starting work? For example, work that you estimate would cost 20-30k total, how much retainer must be asked up front?

Also, what do you if a client cannot pay full retainer? (startup. limited funds) Is there a payment plan legally allowed in NY that transfers risk for non-payment? As always, thanks.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

How does a sole engineer at a company go about getting management to actually care how production machines run? I’m the only mechanical engineer at my company dealing with a half dozen cranky production managers who think that I can “work my magic” on a machine. It’s not magic, just ignorance about the machine actually works. How to I get a manager to stop caring about the end product long enough for me to actually teach them about their own machine?

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.

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.

I want convert every lead I can. Does anyone have tips, books, cle’s or studied this topic?

Hi. I’m in need of advice and encouragement. I’m currently working as a public defender(2nd year) but I would love to pursue a solo private practice. I would like to leave the public defender because I am ready to make more money and I am no longer feeling the fulfillment I once felt. I have a family and work-life balance is a priority. What is a good way to gain experience in other areas of law as a solo practitioner? What areas of law are best for maintaining a work-life balance?
