Ladies - do I have to wear tights with a dress if client is business casual but more on the professional side? Dress doesn't match black tights and feels pointless to buy nude.

I wear nude stockings, not tights. I think going bare legged at work is incredibly unprofessional.

When it's cold I'm always in tights/stockings. I have black,blue and grey. During warm weather I go bare legs.

I wear dresses/skirts everyday. Have worked on the east coast for several years and there are no nude tights there. I am super, super pale and always felt off without tights. Discovered MAC body make-up this summer for legs. Makes a huge difference on pasty white skin. Wear black tights in winter, but no longer wear anything during warmer months.

I've found that folks on the east coast always wear tights, even nude shade. On west coast it's relatively unheard of, even if more formal.

If it is in financial services, maybe. I have had many clients the east coast and have never worn tights aside from black when it is cold

I should note, I basically use "tights" interchangeably with "stockings", even if that isn't quite correct. So I guess I meant nude stockings, if that makes a difference to anyone.

Wearing a suit- skirt with bare feet looks ssuper odd

@OP: Check Policy. When I joined the firm two years ago, my local HR contact specifically told me that tights/hose/stockings are required if wearing a dress or skirt. Trouser socks or knee-highs can be worn with trousers.

like

@OP. Dress code specifically says we need to wear stockings/pantyhose/tights. Err on the side of caution until you get a better understanding of your client environment and if they are more lax with the dress code. (On the bright side, pantyhose have the added benefit of serving as shape wear and preventing your feet from getting sweaty in your shoes.)

Serious billing question - if during the course of the day, you first receive an email from Client A at say 11:10am and you read it, you then respond to it at 12:20pm. You get another email at 2pm from Client A and respond immediately. The next email comes in at 4pm, you read it and respond only at 4:30pm. None of the email responses take more than 3-5mins. You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?

like

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

V5 Legal Assistant here (2 years in industry, started at current firm in late April). I’m on pace for 2700 billable hours / year. To boot, that rate is going up because of all of the 65+ hour weeks lately, and the first month being billed around 40.

I was just told that I may not qualify for any bonuses because I haven’t been here for 1 year.
