I am a new associate currently watching a named partner “quiet fire” but not so quiet a paralegal. He has been really nasty to her, demoralizing, degrading and any other word that fits. And I’m struggling to not speak up because I feel so conflicted. I don’t want to make things worse for her but do want him to know I see how he’s treating her.

I’m already trying to leave but the market isn’t the best. But I struggle still working at the firm after seeing this. (Below)

Can anyone explain why insurance defence work in the US is such a terrible place to be? I work in insurance defence / coverage (financial lines) based in London and it doesn’t seem like it has as negative of a reputation as it does in the US, why is that? 👀

What do you do in between meetings where you don't have enough time to get anything done but it's like too much time to do nothing.

What do you do to get yourself comfortable saying something doesn’t exist in an agreement or in case law? When i get questions like this (Ex. Does this contract have XYZ-type language?) I usually figure out the answer pretty quickly…but then I spend a ton of time trying to prove myself wrong. I got burned on a question like this as a 2nd yr, so I think I’m just hyper aware of the risk. I’ve been told I need to get “more efficient” though, so I’m trying to work on this. Any suggestions?
