Seyfarth is 1950 with up to 60 pro bono included. 3 days in office. Less comp than Morgan Lewis.

I interviewed at both. Can confirm info about Seyfarth above. It was my sense it was heavily enforced. For Morgan Lewis, it was the same in-office requirement. But I interviewed with the labor management practice group so there would be a lot of travel. It didn’t seem like it was enforced within the group itself but enforced at the office level. I know a lot of associates at ML that left to go to other firms( including Seyfarth). From what I heard and experienced from interviewing, I think the people in the group are great but it’s just a lot of work and unpredictability.

ML associate, not in NYC, but one of my fav partners at the firm is in the NYC office. Our group works a lot across offices and overall we have a really great group of people. I was at a boutique before, and have 0 regrets about the switch. In office is 3 days a week, some offices more strict than others, 1900 to be bonus eligible but LEPG expectation is 2000.

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11. Can I submit the reapplication with the CA Board of Accountancy to speed up the retake and NTS process in case I failed? Or do I need to get my exam score first? I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.

Hello, I’m an associate (almost at the one year mark) at a midsize firm on the EPL team. I did about 2 years of employment law as a clerk during school and know that’s what I want to go into. I’ve asked for more EPL work but keep catching PI cases. I second-chaired an employment trial but don’t see any EPL work for the foreseeable future and wasn’t getting as much EPL exposure as I wanted before the trial. Any advice on a lateral move to a bigger firm with a broader range of EPL work?
