Do you mean to take clients out?

Business development budget to take ppl out not necessarily clients.

Post this on the Latham bowl if you want more indo as I don’t wanna give out confi info but the basic rule is approx £120 per person for dinner before LDC approval is required. Not sure what you mean by not necessarily clients - unless you mean potential clients, in which this applies.

More like what’s the amount of hours y’all have billed.

I had to eat a lot of class years when joining big law. I didn’t go T14, didn’t get a summer job in big law, had to work my way up and finally got here. I’m at a great firm doing the exact work I like doing. Now, all around me, colleagues who graduated with me or after me are getting promoted and I’m still a long ways away. They all deserve it. But I can’t help but feel jealous and angry about the uncertainty ahead of whether I’ll make it there and how long it will take. Can anyone relate?
