How can I explain to our clients that every time we have a delay, it’s not really something we can handle? If your supplies are coming in late from China, there is literally nothing we can do except to wait.

I find the best appoach is to constantly communicate the supply chain disruptions to customers so they are well educated on the subject. Congestion on USWC is easing up, but now USEC is facing “X” delays. China zero tolerance policy, factories closed down, lack of truck power, origin port congestion, these are some examples. Geopolitical issues such as tensions in Taiwan Strait. This might cause delays if things escalate. Sometimes pictures help too. I share information from JOC & Linked in.

Considering joining a small 50-person company as the only attorney (prior attorney is retiring). (I am currently in-house at a F50). For others who have done the same path, what surprises did you have when moving from a large company to a small one?

For example, it sounds like I should not expect a document management system, based on a prior post in this bowl. I’m guessing expenses like state bar fees and cell phone are not reimbursed.

Any advice on things to expect (or not expect)?

Today I messed up doing a delivery. The client was expecting the supplies at 3pm in the warehouse, however, there was an accident on the highway and traffic was insane.
