I have a Bachelors degree, a paralegal certification and over 20 years of experience. I just started at a fairly large firm and I really like it so far but they make us clock in/out and lunch in/out with no remote clock option i.e. cell phone. Really?? I feel like I’m back in high school. Either I get my work done or I don’t, right?

Does anyone know how litigation finance works on the plaintiff side? If someone wanted to bring a lawsuit against their former employer would a general contingency arrangement with a plaintiff’s firm make sense?

I need a hug.

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

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.

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

Hi new here. Idk what my value is and if I’m getting paid an amount that reflects my hard work. I am a paralegal for a small law firm (family and immigration) w only 1 attorney.
