I wasn't sure where to post this. I got an offer I can't refuse from a pi firm after working in criminal law for a decade and being over it. Any insight into what its like in personal injury. I'm used to the billable hour grind at a firm and really I'm not sure what to expect..like day to day without billables.

Thanks!

It’s worth a shot. The upsides include no billables, no billables, and no billables. The downsides are dealing with unpredictable clients (but you are already in crim law so probably not a big deal) and possibly having to deal with the dark world of lien doctors (referring plaintiffs to doctors who over treat just to drive up the bill because they are treating on a lien).

Your day to day will probably consist of taking and defending depositions, writing motions (mostly dry procedural ones), and asking opposing counsel for discovery extensions. Or responding to emails from opposing counsel asking for extensions. You might get to help a few people along the way.

I say go for it.

How does everyone bill for family law matters? Do you always bill hourly or is there some flat fee, monthly or quarterly fee structure that could work, even in contested matters? I have cases that the clients end up spending $20-$40,000 on a contested divorce and this is really out of their budget. I feel that if my firm could charge a flat fee of $10-$15,000, it would still be beneficial from a client predictability and volume standpoint and would generate more referrals.

So I joined IBM 5 months back, was on bench for this long and got project just a week back.

My PSP and People Manager have been kind of lenient, cooperative and kind to me because I was never told I will be put in PIP, I have to enter project not matching my skillset etc etc.

Is it wise to appreciate both of them via blue points for their support?

I just got a mail saying I have 200 bluepoints to send out appreciations if I feel like.
