If you needed a conflict waiver from a soon-to-be former client when latetalling, what was the situation? Did the client sign?

Just as a cautionary tale, I required a conflict waiver from a big tech company for a lateral move to a firm that regularly represented one of their competitors. Big tech company refused. Was unable to lateral as a result and was eventually frozen out by my last firm as a result of requesting the waiver. It doesn’t happen often, but be aware that it can.

Yeah similar situation here and this is my worry, but wondering why I can't be walled off since the competitor from what I can tell is not a huge client of the new firm. I've seen some advice in general bowls that conflict waivers are routine/they always sign but in this situation/IP Lit I'm not sure why they would. It'd truly be asking for a favor

I'm new to marketing and I am not formally educated in it. I have just been learning through experience with the business.

I have an expensive subscription to a reporting database and I am supposed to translate these technical reports into 20-30 slides. I can't figure out if I am overthinking something simple or lacking some knowledge that people formally learn in school.

For anyone who practices tax lit in the US Tax Court, what’s your experience with the independent office of appeals?

Interested to hear other people’s experience.

Billables as a mid-level IP litigation associate at Big Law, AM100, and AM200 firms? I’m currently doing 60% patent prosecution, 40% litigation at a mid-sized IP boutique and am considering lateraling for a patent litigation position, but I’m concerned about work life balance, especially since my SO and I are expecting. I currently have a 1900 target, and I routinely bill about 2000. I’m interviewing at DLA, Saul Ewing, Honigman, and Fox Rothschild (all DC offices).
