I’m some way into my second firm that I lateraled to (about 9 month in). I just don’t feel like a part of the team and it feels like I’m a bit of an outsider. The work is fine though (some parts at least) Is this a sign that I should maybe look elsewhere that’d be a better fit?

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?
