How does one switch from insurance defense to plaintiff’s side without violating the conflict of interest rule? Since the insurance company would now be my former client, I’m trying to figure out how attorneys make the switch without violating the former client rule.

Keep in mind that depending on your state, the insurance company is NOT your client; the insured is your client.

Then my comment may not apply. In my jurisdiction, “insurance defense” generally refers to attorneys that are paid by insurers to defend the insured when a liability policy is implicated (i.e., you are not defending the insurer, you are the “defense” that the insurer has the “right and duty” to provide when claims against the insured are arguably covered by the liability policy). If you’re actually defending the insurance company, I’d call that “coverage counsel” work.

Call your states board of professional conduct and get the advice of one of their attorneys. For Ohio, I was told the new firm must not have any current cases with your former firm that you were personally involved in. If they still have some they have to withdraw from those
cases or you have to wait until they’re over.

Anyone else required to put together completely unrealistic timelines?

Upper management's direction is to put together the most aggressive deadlines we can. If we think a project will take 16 months, make the plan for 10 months then there's a chance we may launch in 13 months.

I understand that time to market is important in consumer product goods, but being constantly behind schedule and rushing everything is terrible for the team's morale.

Whenever we hang out she’ll get really close and keep touching/poking me whenever we need to turn corners, cross the block, etc because she’s the navigator. When we sit next to each other on the bench she’ll be up on my personal space up. Just a lot of shoulder to shoulder touching. I had other female friends this touchy as well but I wouldn’t think anything of it because some people are touchier 1/2
