I would say if you can, delegate more projects to your subordinates. Figure out which meetings do you really need to go to vs. just reading the meeting notes. Book time on your calendar to have 1:1s with your team on a regular basis but not to the detriment of client deliverables. They should be able to run on their own enough without too much oversight. If not, empower them to do so.

Focus on management responsibilities and delegate client work. Mgmt work leads to promotions, whereas day to day client work won't get you noticed.

Book every 15 minute increment on your calendar. Mix of actual meetings, project working time, and 1:1 time. Also makes filling out the time sheet easier at the end of the day.

Writing sample question. I drafted a really complex dispositive motion that was granted. It was obviously revised by the partners on the case but can I still use it as a sample?

Obviously I would redact or change client/identifying information. It was publicly filed and is available on the public docket. I am not one of the attorneys of record.

Curious what people have done in the past. I'm interested in lateral positions so can't exactly ask the partners I work with.
