How can someone read the Seinfeld v. Charles fees award decision today and think that Big Law litigation practices will ever keep pace with transactional Big Law practices on rates and fees? Look it up if you haven't seen it. Gibson Dunn's fees award was reduced from 973k to 28k.

What should I plan to be doing on a daily basis? (Still new to sales and want to be approaching it correctly)

P.s. Perfectly okay with cold calling if need be but want to be efficient with time and effort.

5th year corporate associate, currently interviewing for in house rules. I got an offer for $250k all in (including salary and bonus) but feel like that is a little lower than what was expected. Any ideas on how to approach? Any other mid level associates care to share how much they got to go in house?

Hi Guys

Anyone got abroad job on SharePoint PowerApps Power Automate Power Platform SPFX

Anyone would be willing to help me please DM me

My firm has a minimum hour RQ. Why do I need to continue to work once I hit it? Isn’t that just working for free? They’ve gotten their value out of me for this year see you in 2022

Fresh Junior lateral and a colleague from past firm (different practice area) asked if I could take a pro Bono case because he trusts me with it. It would be completely creditable under my firm’s policy, but would it look weird to ask for pro Bono credit in my first few weeks post lateral?

Just worried it would look like I’m not prioritizing work that actually earns the firm money. Idk maybe I’m overthinking it. Thoughts? TIA!

Any firms doing anything innovative with the billable hour yet? Non-billable hour pilots? I’ve heard of a few but not recently, so were they flops? Suggestions for what could actually work?

Those in Tech M&A, what’s different about it? What keeps you interested?

Wondering about potential exit/in-house opportunities for different practice groups. I’m currently in big law and choosing between general corporate deal work (M&A/PE) and tech transactions. Do either of these give better in-house (or other) opportunities later on?

Hi all. I’m a first year antitrust lit associate, seeking to lateral to a big law corporate group. I’ve had a couple full-round interviews this year, but no bites yet. Would anyone be open to chatting about making this switch?

Billed 190 hours in December and felt good about that until I heard people in my group say I "slacked off" during the holidays. I hate this industry.

Insight into Holland & Knight’s Florida offices? Salary/culture in litigation? They went to market pay for all offices right?

How much does a letter of recommendation from your current employer help when lateraling? I currently work at a top-tier regional firm in a small market (1M metro)and I’m moving to a large market. There aren’t any biglaw firms in my current market, but associates at my regional firm regularly lateral to biglaw in big markets. I’ve applied to biglaw firms in the larger market but not much luck. I’m well liked at my firm. Will a letter of rec from my employer be a significant boost to my app?

Is it typical to give your old legal assistant a gift when you lateral?

I’ve already BEEN spending 💸 as part of my retail therapy like we’re going to match the new scale soon🤞🏽

I’ve seen people suggest one of the best ways to get off a deal, if needed, is to get a lateral on it. Is it typical that worst deal (transaction type/client/partner) falls on laterals? I feel like this checks out many times.

How frowned down upon is it to use the same cases cited to support an argument in a memo written by another firm if your argument for your case is very similar?

Can you ever get back into BigLaw after going In House Counsel?

Please could someone give advice on tax vs trusts & estates - What are the good and bad of each practice? What are the chances of making partner (in addition to it depends on the firm) and the exit options if not partnership? Thanks!!!

Anyone else super slow? So far this month, I’ve billed 14 hours. 0.5 today. 😞

Is your firm treating 12/26 and 12/27 as firm holiday since the 24th and the 25th are during the weekend this year? Of course client demands would dictate whether people will be working, but curious what the official policy is. For what it’s worth, my firm treated the day after thanksgiving as holiday and I didn’t have to work for the whole day.

A department (being vague) I partially work in is losing all it’s midlevels soon (no senior associates) leaving me and another junior. I also work in another department which I like better, but I feel like I’m now going to be consumed by this group because they have no one. I’m gonna be told “it’s a great opportunity to step up”, but clearly it has not worked out for any associate there for some time. Not sure how to handle this as the hours skyrocket, and if I have leverage to push back?
