Husband works with a lot of former Groom people. Some of them complain about being siloed or pigeonholed into very narrow practices, but the firm is very well respected for what they do and the experience is good/name is marketable if you leave

I am an EB/EC lawyer in a smaller market (unfortunately) and brought Groom in as a co-counsel on a case where the status of the case reached a level that exceeded my expertise (or lack thereof 😞). Both my client and I have been very happy with Groom and the expertise and responsiveness of the Groom lawyer involved. I think they really are the “gold standard” for benefits work. I can not speak to what it would be like to work internally there; but I would have to imagine that if you did not like it there the firm name would be a strong credential on your resume if you wished to lateral later.

Hi all, I was curious about companies that have their own in-house advertising. I’m in digital media, specifically, SEM and potentially looking to leave the agency side. Primarily due to low pay, and management issues. Given this, any company recs that have a solid foundation with digital media? Any advice from people who’ve been on both the agency and branded side?

I'm in a litigation, about 9 months in. Is it normal that I spend majority of my time making bundles for my partners (printing, binding, moving docs in a different order whenever there are new documents or he wants to add stuff) reviewing documents and making tables (e.g. dates, which documents are from where), and the only legal work is like notices of admission, list of documents, the occasional research? I'm so bored and I want to quit but I don't know if I have unrealistic expectations.

Working at a boutique transactiona firm. First year did not receive much guidance and made a few errors, one of which could have been a deal but ended up being fine but overall I worked hard, billed hours above target and showed a willingness to learn. Three main partners in the group. I feel like I may have been written off by the one partner, still get a fair amount of work from another and the third has never really given work but has a rep for doing things alone or using seniors.
