Just got a job at Deloitte M&A in Atlanta and am currently looking to buy a house. Would you advise I buy closer to Atlanta or the suburbs? I personally want to be in the suburbs but I hear the traffic situation is quite bad. Current consultants in Atlanta, how much time do you actually spend in the office vs remote vs client site? Would you advise I try and stay closer to the office?

What is your hours worked to hours billed ratio?
If you are thinking of starting a law practice or growing one with little or no capital, you need to get the book, “Starting & Growing a Law Practice without Breaking the Bank.
It was written based on personal experience and research. I started my practice 11 years ago in the middle of the 2008/2009 recession with about $500 and I have grown the practice significantly over the years using affordable and available resources.
I also coach solo practitioners and small firm attorneys. https://www.amazon.com/Starting-Growing-Practice-Without-Breaking/dp/1099523303

What's the rationale behind it? If you're going to list the assets, why not put the valuation in? In post-nups, if your jurisdiction permits it, I would be open to a full waiver of disclosure. But not with a pre-nup because the parties are much less likely to understand what's actually on the table.
I agree with your gut reaction. In some jurisdictions, if either party has independent knowledge of the value of assets the prenup may not be voidable even without a disclosure. However, that’s a tougher case and will inevitably involve litigation. I’d make sure to paper the file and CYA as much as possible.
This is a fundamental piece of a valid prenup in MI: full disclosure of assets & liabilities-obviously including amounts. Without this, neither party can sign “knowingly,” & the agreement is not valid.
Your gut is correct. If privacy is an issue (beyond the parties), consider putting in a confidentiality clause with a damages provision if needed.
Bad idea. Go with your gut. Suggest/push for values to be Iisted to the extent possible. (Miami Family lawyer here.) full, frank disclosures protects against enforcement. Protect yourself, too. Put a cya letter together advising that their desire to move forward without values is against your advice, yada yada, if that’s the route they insist on taking.
Absolutely have to list values, at minimum an approximate value if the exact amount is not available. It’s not an enforceable antenuptial agreement without full disclosure of the assets.
And thanks
Hell no lol that's def voidable in my state. Nice try client
