No sign off, just my first name (nickname) followed by my signature block (full name, title, address). But if I don’t like you, no nickname, just the signature block; we are not on a first name basis.

Thanks every time. I don’t get some of these and they drive me crazy. What is “best” even referring to? I also am almost never sincere or warm so those are lies. Kind of love Ciao though.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?
