How is life in small law/midlaw? Looking to see if anyone has a steady 9-5/6 private practice law job and if it’s chill.

Trying to build my book and I’m making good connections but not finding any immediate opportunities. Do you cold call or rely on referrals to build your pipeline?

Hiring an AE. Independent agency in LA. Min 2 years exp. Message me for details.

Does TCS ask for all ex organisations experience letters or just last two?

I have friends that have back office positions but never received an offer letter & their company still doesn’t use them now. Has anyone given notice & started a new position without an offer letter? Do international companies provide something else in lieu of a formal offer letter? I know offer letters aren’t legally binding anyhow, but seems they’d provide something. (International = Canada)

Has anyone tried to get an extension on an offer and they push back?

Best fall vacation destinations on a biglaw budget?

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

One example of personal experience is my ongoing prep for case studies as I'm interviewing with a number of firms. I do struggle to keep focus and generally take a bit longer to finish them, specifically the structuring of the case. Does anybody else feel the same way and any recommendations to overcome this?

I had my first day today at Accenture. Attended the session for attendance but till now did not receive the FORMAL check in mail. Is there any chance I can mail them later saying I do not want to join ACN and abscond or do I have to serve notice period as well?

How long after sending your packet with extra info to the recruiter did you find out results from the HC?

Has anyone received band progression mail ?

Do we have any generic certification policy at HCL for upskilling.

Not talking about project specific or where RM needs to approve, as this tech (cloud) is something I want to learn, not part of my day to day work.

Accenture is in the full gear military recruitment season. I was hired on through the process a few years ago and it’s been great ever since. They have paths for officer and enlisted. DM if interested

Tis the season: If anyone is cleared and interested in a referral to ☝️, please feel free to reach out.

Best divorce lawyer in NYC?

When lateraling to another defense firm, is it necessary to show billable hours at current firm?

Any tips when leaving a firm? Younger associate <1 year.

Advice Request: Started my career litigating. Switched to niche transactions (so about half and half at this point). Halfway through a year long sabbatical and reevaluating what I want to do (left before jumping to Senior associate). I’d like to get into litigation again in a practice group I don’t have experience in. Any suggestions on how to do this? How to approach firms and partners etc? Past 2 firms on my resume are top 30.

Confused why Wachtell qualifies as BigLaw when they have one (small) office

For those of you required to be in office- do people use the phone and email to contact you or do they still come by in person? People in my office seem not to understand how the phone works...

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be? For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.

I’ve always wondered how are lawyers chosen to be recognized in magazines or online publications as “Best Lawyers”/“Rising Stars”? I’ve always assumed it’s a circle jerk of some sorts for Big Firms nominating each other, but I have no idea.

I feel like I’m wasting my time waiting on CA bar results 😭, any tips on how I can use this time effectively?

Any thoughts on Phillips Lytle? If you could please provide insight on culture/billable requirements? Thank you.

What is the scoop on med mal defense vs. plaintiff work? Is defense more respected by other practice areas if I were to switch somewhere else later?

I applied to a position that brands itself as civil litigation and apparently the role is med mal defense. Not sure what to go by but would like to do a little research before I call them back.

I went through all the stages of interviewing with a firm then they chose not to fill the position. They said internal priorities changed. I saw about 5 months later they posted a similar position. Guess who has another interview!

What kind of professional development/marketing-focused seminars/webinars/etc. has your firm offered that you found helpful?

Thinking about applying as a lateral to Quinn Emmanuel LA. Thoughts on hours, etc.?

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.

What is a typical starting rate that young attorneys charge for per diem side work? First or second year lawyers should ask for what? Client is a big firm.

Any non-US lawyers who have been hired by an Am100 firm without having sat the bar? Looking for an opportunity in the US, if possible DC or NYC, and currently working for Big Law in Europe.

Would like some tips re hiring process + visa from those who have succeeded. Looking for a 1-2 year stay and open for longer term

Career Sabbatical?

Can anyone who has taken a career sabbatical to travel/explore other interests share their experience with both leaving their jobs and returning to the legal field?
I really want to live in Asia for a year at least before I have to settle down and start a family. I’m not getting younger but don’t want to be reckless with my career.

Anyone know anything about Kauffman borgees or Traub Lieberman? Reputations, working there, etc?
