Lateraling attorney here, lucky enough to have two offers (both in writing), would be happy with either firm, but still need to decide between the two. I really dislike my current firm (hence the lateral move), and want to give notice ASAP, bad idea to give notice even though I haven't gone through conflicts/picked my next firm?

Do not give notice until you’ve cleared conflicts.

Knew this was the answer, but was hoping I could give notice before, I appreciate the advice!

like

how are they both in writing if you haven’t cleared conflicts? Seems strange to me, but any “writing” that is contingent on clearing conflicts is not the type of “writing” people mean when they say “wait for it to be in writing.”

In other words, to answer your question, always wait to clear conflicts.

I received a conditional offer in writing

Absolutely do not give notice until conflicts clear under any circumstances

Boutique I have been eyeing has billable hour requirement of 1500-1600 and comes with a 20-25% paycut. Is this a stupid idea and should I grind it out until I can move in house?
