2.5 years in and not “there” yet, but also not sure I’ll ever be “there”. Cross-referrals with my law partners in different divisions are probably about 1/4 of my business, my own clients are 1/2 and acting as service partner for our section rainmaker is the other 1/4. I am always actively marketing, but building by own book isn’t a tremendous priority due to the above consistently generating more than enough work for me.

Area of practice and your existing network is also going to be very determinative. It’s easier to get new clients for T&E work than corp fin.

“NAME X, born on (BLANK 1) at (BLANK 2), residing in (BLANK 3), at the (BANK 4), hereafter ‘employee’.”

BLANK 1 - date of birth
BLANK 2 - where I was born? City or Country?
BLANK 3 - currently living in
BLABK 4 - ???

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

Anyone here have comorbid anxiety and/or depression? How did you know, and how do you manage it now? I think I might be struggling with one or both and I’m trying to figure out how to proceed. Not currently seeing a therapist or medicated, managing based on strategies I learned from an ADHD coach back in college, so at minimum I would need to find a provider, which has been a barrier (cost-wise, finding someone with experience with ADHD, etc.)
