Partner assigns me research and says we’ll discuss. I send my findings to the partner. Partner doesn’t discuss anything with me and instead sends my findings to client. I feel like the research wasn’t great because of burn out and now scared of the response from client and insecure. How do you all move past your insecurities?

It was good enough for the partner to send it to the client. If it was bad, or incomplete, the partner would have discussed it with you, and asked for more research. You’re fine!

I literally have to just steel myself and make myself push the send button for that very reason. And then once it's sent I try to forget about it.

It normally ends up fine.

I remember that there are people out there who do less work and don’t ever worry about things like that. If you have the concern that your work wasn’t good enough, it’s probably good enough.

Hi everyone,

Fellow millennial lawyers: tell me, in general terms, 1 or 2 clients you acquired and how you acquired them. I feel like the suggested strategies for developing business are always the same: network, build your brand (hate this phrase), market yourself on LinkedIn, etc. Does any of this work? Seems to me to that most business development comes from long-standing contacts (e.g. your childhood best friend is now CEO and needs legal services), so I’m curious how other attorneys developed business.
