Is it permissible to send a casual email to my old firms clients (that I had an actual relationship with) simply informing them that I moved firms, will continue to practice in the same areas, and provide my contact information? First firm jump so I am unsure. Texas if that matters.

Worth it if your goal is business development, which I assume is what we're talking about here.

The exact formulation depends entirely on if you are positioned to bring the work with you.

Yes. Look up ABA opinion 489. Your firm may try to strong arm you to keep your departure quiet. The ethics guidelines however suggest the opposite and that clients SHOULD always be informed

Question for funds folks, since no one is around to answer any questions and I can't seem to find this answer anywhere. Why can't a placement agent combine or integrate the offering of interests in the sponsor's fund with the contemporaneous offering of interests in another fund? Is it based on reputational risk or from a sales perspective in case someone rejects both funds, any other issues? Thanks!

How many interviews is too many? I’ve done 5 one on ones with different people in the practice group. They want me to talk to a few more, but I’m frustrated. It’s so hard to find time to schedule these things and the associates don’t seem to understand I can’t just take them in the middle of the work day at work. Recruiter thinks it’s a good sign. FWIW they haven’t communicated to me position level they’d expect.

Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm. The top law firms will be okay (they always are) but if you are part of a larger group of associates with no work, you are likely to be axed. Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.
