I am a 10+ year senior associate staffed on a very top heavy case. 2 partners, 2 counsel, me, and 2 juniors. I feel like I make very significant contributions to strategy and have a great relationship with the client, but I am excluded by the partners on client calls, not copied on client emails, and won’t be appearing as counsel of record. I feel so excluded. I already struggle with mental health, and I am not in a great place. Please help me feel better. It just hurts so much.

I had similar feelings at my prior firm. I was being significantly held back by micromanaging junior partners and eventually decided it was time to go. They were keeping me from growing. Moving on was the only answer for me.

Are the partners and counsel all male?

This sounds like a place that is not cultivating you for partnership — and in fact may be hoarding their contacts with clients. I would plan to leave this job as soon as possible so you can keep growing in your career.

I have a new client who, I think, got bad legal advice from someone else she consulted with. From the information I have, there is no way she gets to the numbers I do. I work in a pretty small legal community. How do I address this delicately? My client is hung up on “but that’s not that X said” even though I’ve explained it multiple times and way. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
