So, does anyone want to share what their attorneys got them for Xmas? I’ll go first: Partner 1 gave me $500 and a really nice note, Partner 2 gave me $300, mid level associate gave me $50 Visa card, another mid level gave a candle (she either doesn’t know my name, gave me someone named Linda’s gift) lol. My big partner still hasn’t given me anything but he’s always been very good to me and is usually late. Last year he gave me $750. The firm bonus was last month and was4%. Happy New Year to all!

Ratios of Admins to Attys at your big law? My firm has first through fourth year associates using a pool system and assigns 5th years and up to an admin. Each admin has 7-9 attys. Word on the street is ratios may increase. Trying to get centralized billing so admins do less. Meanwhile they can’t seem to keep our billing folks from leaving. It’s been a crazy year and lots of disappointing moves.

What billing software does your firm use? Our firm uses Clio and my managing partner hates it. He has asked me to research and find something better.

Hi guys, i'm considering an LAA role with Fasken in Vancouver CA. Would appreciate any feedback on the firm, the role, and salary expectations. Thanks

Interested to know if your Big Law has announced that the office will be fully remote (with option to come in for those that want to) during Thanksgiving week and last two weeks of the calendar year? I hear this is how quite a few big law firms are going to be doing it.

Please share whether or not your firm is offering hybrid work arrangements to support staff.

Benefits Question: how is the health insurance where you are? How does your employer handle it?

This has become one of the most important things when interviewing for me. My last employer went from having no insurance option to giving us one terrible plan that they contributed 50% towards. My current employer works with Gravie so we get so much per month and can use it towards any plan on the marketplace. Only thing that sucks is the contributions are post-tax so it counts as income.

Are there any firms with remote or hybrid LAA positions? Even if it’s short term, that’s ok.
Currently I am a LAA in a personal injury law firm for a year now, and I want to get more experience in others law fields. Thanks!

Curious what everyone things about Clio vs MyCase?

Hi all. I'm new here, still trying to figure things out. 17 years experience in litigation insurance defense in various practices areas seeking preferably a remote position, but open to hybrid in ATL.

State what the adverage salary is and your state. I am looking to move but not sure what is considered great pay.

Big law raise percentages for LAAs in 2022? Mine was 4%. I have no idea of the range being given this year within my firm, but my personal raise was better this year than last year.
