Are you transactional or litigation? I pushed back on this and because I'm transactional and based on my jurisdiction, the law firm was able to shorten the scope of what they needed. Otherwise, just have to start pulling up time sheets to pull client names and dig through emails, which is insane.

Transactional. Yea, I agree!

How would you ask to transfer to another office within your firm?

I lateraled from one firm in city A to another firm city B. During the interview process, I made a big deal about how I badly I wanted to be in B, despite only being barred in A. They hired me, paid for my bar courses, the works.

Now I find myself in a position where I need to leave B due to personal issues. Thinking of going to DCso I can just waive in.

It's been less than a year since I've joined; is it too soon to ask this?
