I've spent 5+ years as a Legal Billing Specialist for a U.S. law firm while also developing legal billing software. I'm curious to hear from attorneys, legal admins, and billing professionals: What's the biggest challenge in your firm's billing process today? Is it time entry, e-billing/LEDES, invoice rejections, collections, or something else?

I'm here to learn from your experiences, not to pitch a product. An honest opinion is highly appreciated!

Callback consisted of five back-to-back interviews with exclusively white men. No thanks.

Should all the on-site interviews have a feedback of "hire/ strong hire" in order to proceed to HC?
What if one of rounds was not up to the mark?

Came across a role at Deloitte in Richmond, VA today called HRST Talent Culture & Change Management Specialist. Can anyone give me insight into the type of role this is, day to day, comp, etc?

Hi All,
I'm joining EY India Technology Consulting in a week. However, EY is also my client, primarily we're involved in the maintenance of their internal user interface.

I can see a non solicitation clause in my current employer's offer letter than I can't join client within 12 months of my termination.

Are this non solicitation clauses followed in reality? Everyone's has been asking me to chill, since I'm joining as scon, not a manager or with any trade secrets. Opinions pls.

Hi All, does anyone have information on Markel client in Synechron. How is WLB in the project.

With the new LCA wage increase or whatever, only FAANGs would remain in US? 🧐

Equity research associate considering to pivot into IBD. Is this a wise choice? Heard ER is an exit for some of the IB folks out there.

Aside from just time and experience, is there anything I can actively do to advance in my career and get more responsibility / client interaction? I’m a first year

At an ID firm, but doing 30% ID, and the rest is appellate work + appellate work in a different area of law. Team is amazing—well known people in the legal community. I love appellate work, want to be a state ct appellate judge ultimately. But I’m scared I’m locking myself into ID. What should I do?

Any one out there who has a genuinely informed view of the capacity of a biglaw remote access system (Citrix and VPN) that was designed to facilitate remote working by a fraction (contd in comments)

How many trials per year do "trial lawyers" do?

How often do you respond to emails from law students who want to learn about your firm/practice area? I get like a dozen requests right around OCI every year. Frankly I’m tired of speaking to them and answering the same boring questions, especially if I know they have a low GPA and no chance of summering at my firm, but I do feel bad saying no/ignoring them

Curious to know what other firm's bonus structures are, particularly those with billable requirements of 1900 and below. Trying to understand what the norm is and figure out if associates at my firm are getting screwed. thanks

Any thoughts on Phillips Lytle? If you could please provide insight on culture/billable requirements? Thank you.

Desperately feel like I need to transition from BigLaw (Commercial Real Estate) out of the legal profession and into something more business focused. Any suggestions on where to look to not take a monster salary hit?!

So the feeling that you’re forgetting something important because you have so much on your plate…that never goes away right?

I have a law student shadowing me tomorrow. Do I just have her watch as I answer emails, draft MSJ, etc ?

Has anyone received what seem like unfair reviews that came out of nowhere? How do you handle it?

Callback consisted of five back-to-back interviews with exclusively white men. No thanks.

I’m a first year. Getting a heavy case load - general liability, med mal, FELA, and products. I don’t really know how to organize my outlook email inbox. Any suggestions on where to start would be great. I’ve struggled with being organized in the past and obviously looking to improve in this respect. Thanks.

Raise your hand if you have to work over the weekend (even though the juniors under you don’t have to)?! ✋

Anyone keeping tabs on the Darrell Brooks trial? Prime sovereign citizen nonsense.

Anyone have any reliable free resources (CLEs, practice guides) for tax law and estate/probate/wills? I don’t have the money for anything paid, but I’d like to selfstudy these areas in the meantime. My state bar and libraries don’t appear to have a practice series or anything like that, so it’s been hard finding something viable other than the ole’ Google and pray.

Coming up on one full year at an ID firm. Feeling overwhelmed with my experience so far. I’ve received minimal training/feedback unless it was on something I messed up. It feels like the expectations don’t align with my level of experience. I have a case load of 45-55 with very little oversight or involvement from partners. Turnover is extremely high, as I’m the second longest tenured associate in the office. Looking for some guidance on whether this is the norm or not. Compensation is low 80’s.

Interested in hearing what your firm gives clients for the holidays, if anything? Please provide firm size and gift/gift value.

Does anyone’s dog look at them with puppy eyes when you leave for work so you tell them you have to go make money to afford their lifestyle? 🤣
