I am a fifth year insurance coverage litigator, but I want to try my hand at commercial litigation. I think my experience with insurance contracts could translate well but I wasn’t sure whether commercial litigation firms view coverage counsel in the same I’ve heard about ID attorneys. Has anyone made a similar transition?

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.

What is the expectation at your firms about coming into work after making your billable hours requirement? Asking especially for those who do not get a bonus per extra hour billed over the minimum.
