Hi there!

I’m trying to get my grandmother (81yrs old) travel medical insurance for a trip to the US, where I live. She’s in good health and lives in South Africa. I can only find travel insurance options for those who are aged 80 or below.

Does anyone know of any companies that offer senior travel/medical insurance (81+) or have any other recommendations? Or does she just come without travel insurance?

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I set up my boss to take on a client that I planned to steal from her. She thought she was using me but I was using her. When she asked me to prepare statements of work, I drafted it with my resume in mind. When she asked me to set pricing, I priced it at my desired salary. When she pawned the work off to me, I nonchalantly took point. Then slowly and surely, I made myself indispensable to the client. I can’t wait to tell her that the foundation’s offer is priced above her salary. Checkmate.

I once worked with a partner who I think is brilliant and anytime I implicitly ask him to be my mentor (I.e. we should stay in touch, I’m sure I will have questions so I hope it is okay if I reach out. etc), he ghosts me but he does serve as a reference for me anytime I ask and I’ve successfully got a couple of jobs so I’m sure he’s saying good things. Any tips on how to go about building this relationship? Should I just find someone else? TIA

I’m a mentor for a summer associate who I believe could be a great lawyer here (V100, small market if that matters). However, it is apparent he has no understanding of technology (redlines, word, excel). Based on his background, I believe it’s due to a lack of access. Would you ever recommend to your firm that he be given a course to catch up? Should I try and get him training on my own? Stay out of it? I dont want to overstep but believe this would help him as this puts him way behind his peers

What do you do to keep track of your tasks? Any software you use? I used to use Excel but got away from that.

Here's a hypo I need help with: A and B are both on deed. prior to 2020, B conveyed his interest to C. Then, sometime after 2020, both A and B tried to convey their interest to D (presumably an attempt to convey the remaining 1/2 interest left, but not how it reads or is recorded). Clearly, B did not have any interest left to convey since he gave it to C already. Is the conveyance by A to D still effective, even if B was included in the deed and has no interest left?

Anyone work for NYC HEALTH & HOSPITAL that can talk about quality of work? Benefits, WLB, WFH, workload (!!), billable hours (??) etc? TYIA

Do you think the legal industry will ever move away from the billable hour? I don’t see its advantages for clients or firms in the current environment.
We have the data to accurately predict the cost of litigation, and a flat fee would help settlement agreements move along because that cost is already known.

My firm requires 200 hours bills per month, now they have been cracking down on us to bill 50 per week. I’m so exhausted. I absolutely hate this place. Insurance defense wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for these insane requirements. We also have to do update charts by weekly for every single one of our cases. All for a measly $85k while the firm makes thousands and thousands per week from each attorney. You only get a bonus for meeting the billable requirement, only to end up with about $2200.
