I need help trying to figure out what to do with myself. I do not like all aspects of litigation. I despise taking depositions. And now a days I am more interested in law firm growth, marketing, and management. I would be much happier if I did not have to actually work the litigation files, but instead was some kind of manager of a litigation department that’s there ti make sure that the attorneys are growing their networks, clients are paying the bills, and the division/law firm is growing.
