Idk why everyone unanimously thinks they’re not “legit” but I have worked with them for a year and they actually are pretty good. Very sophisticated app where they handpick firms for you. You approve whatever firms you want and they send out apps immediately. I’ve gotten several interviews through them. They even provided me with a former Latham associate who works there to prep me for the interview via Zoom.

You know A4, that’s a great question. I’ve actually never tried to follow up after submitting. If the firm doesn’t move and your app and it forever stays “under review” it’s safe to say it’s a no go. With that being said, idk if you have an assigned contact there but I haven’t had any problems with communication when I’m invited to interview — they’re extremely responsive.

I have been reading posts from newer associates about bad things partners have done or said to them and I think it could be fun for some of us more senior lawyers in the bowl to tell stories of mean things partners did or said to us when we were new associates. Hopefully it stays mostly light and not horrible things.

Tips for dealing with an older managing partner? I have plenty of older partners who are east to deal with, but the managing partner is stuck in 1995 and doesn’t seem to grasp how technology can be incorporated nor does he understand how to attract talent from younger generations.

One of my supervising attorneys all of a sudden is heavily redlining my work by just rephrasing what I originally wrote and adding things I find unnecessary. He didn’t use to redline my work this much and everything ends up being overly dense and wordy. I’ve always gotten good feedback on my writing skills and after 8 months at the firm I know my writing has improved. All other partners and supervisors are actually redlining my work less. Should I be suspicious or is he going through a phase?
