Definitely not a tradition or anything. Don't think it's required unless you're close.

No. Just say thank you for the support etc.

Got flowers from my counselee, really felt nice to have facilitated the promotion

Certainly not inappropriate... If you felt that they played a role in supporting your advancement I think a gift is a very gracious acknowledgment of their investment in you. Congratulations on your promotion.

I just finished a big jury trial with a senior partner (SP). There were co-parties w/separate counsel. SP mentally checked out, to the point that co-counsel was asking what SP was doing/if SP was okay. I ended up handling most everything. SP did a few parts but went rogue and did things that were offensive/risky/bad for client. It became clear that SP is not performing like SP used to and may be a liability. Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.
