I'm in NYC and looking to make a lateral move. I want a firm that has a healthy LGBTQ+ representation, because my current big law firm has none.

Any recommendations?

What practice group?

Hadn’t read this bowl in a while and missed this post, so probably too late, but wanted to say that we have excellent LGBTQ representation in private funds in particular, including four young new LGBTQ partners in the private funds group just in the past three years.

Statistically all firms have less than 5% so how healthy are you looking? My firm has better representation than most in their other office locations (I.e., California) and waaaay less so in NYC, but as a whole could be deemed healthy.

You can look this up on NALP. But just off the top of my head, Cleary, Gibson, DPW if you’re a guy, Paul Weiss.

Still WFH? What are other chambers doing for task management? Our chambers has been keeping up with assignments, incoming emails needing judge’s eyes, and written orders, all through Microsoft Planner. We share PDFs through Sharepoint folders. Although we still email draft orders back and forth, the system seems to work well enough. We still aren’t operating at our previous capacity because it takes 10x the number of steps to get a motion heard or an order entered—90% of our workload.

Its making me anxious because I don’t want to get fired for low hours but also I’m a first year so will they have some mercy on me? Lol

What should I be reading or researching? First gen lawyer here, always been small firm. I’m at a 2 attorney firm now and was just approached about becoming a partner. The boss wants to clean up the books so I can review them and we can discuss. Other than professional connections, I have no idea where to turn for info/insight. I’m definitely interested, but obviously this is a big decision, so I don’t think a “partner? Sure, I’m in” is appropriate.

I have to tell my parents that I got engaged this weekend. They haven’t been taking the coming out well over the last year (i.e have isolated themselves from their community, screaming and crying when I’m on the phone with mom, dad hasn’t spoken to me since July). I’m incredibly nervous about this conversation. Going to have it in about two hours. Any words of advice?

What do you all do to make non-professional / personal connections? Particularly with the Coronavirus, and being in domestic relations, I wake up, go to work, work out, go home. So outside of law, my interactions with people are only at the gym given that my area is draining— particularly at the moment. Probably a good thing for now; but if we take coronavirus out of the equation, I’m interested what others in the community do to develop personal connections.

Happy Thanksgiving all!
