How is your work load recently? I started at this corporate firm about a year ago and I’m only billing two hours a day if that. I keep asking for work and they said their isn’t any at the moment and not to worry. I have 5 years corporate/real estate experience and have never been this bored…..

OP, what type of firm are you at? Big law? If so, curious how big your firm is, is it a vault 100 firm? If they’re telling you not to worry much and your firm has fairly deep pockets, you should be fine, just don’t turn down work.

Yes, V is vault :)

Not at a firm, but I’m in corporate law in house and it took me a about a year to have a solid workload. If you have free time, I would suggest making charts spreadsheets and templates (amendments, resolutions, etc..) to make your life easier in the long run, also brushing up on the rules in the states you do most work in so when someone asks a question you already have the answer. Good luck!

I’ve heard corporate is incredibly slow. I’m focused on corporate but family office matters. We haven’t slowed since 2008-2009.

Use the time to catch-up on any outstanding projects and organize.

I need help. I'm dealing with multiple losses in the same week and having a hard time... I took some time off from work but I have no motivation to do anything. I don't want to go back to work and don't care about my work right now. I want to quit but I don't want to make a rash decision but need a long break. It's also not fair to my team that I can't give it my 100%. What can I do?
