You want exactly this from both a development and marketability perspective. You can’t grow if a partner controls every aspect of the litigation. And firms LOVE an associate that is capable of running his or her case from complaint to judgement. If your firm gives you that level of autonomy, you should appreciate it and use it to your advantage.
I could have written this post myself word for word. I’ve just started taking on a lot more recently and sometimes I feel like I’m drowning with no life preserver. I feel like I’m seen as stupid/incompetent for asking basic questions but I’m also terrified to mess things up by doing the wrong thing, and I feel like the partners forget how new and clueless I am and expect me to just know the right course of action in discovery.
I’m the same! I have a lot of control over my cases on a daily basis but I’ll fill my boss in on what my plan is and she’s always available for questions.
