Talk to me about ramping up as a junior lateral. I’m going crazy not having enough work to do. I lateraled a couple of months ago and am the only associate in my practice group. Partner who hired me has a major delegation issue (and has said this to management). Every time I raise it, I’m brushed off with vague statements that “the work is coming” etc. I’m way under-billing and don’t know what else I can do beyond pestering the (very) few partners in my group. Is this normal?

How long have you been there?

Would also second using this time to grow your network. It seems like the out of the two partners, one might feed you work when they get busy but the second might never get there due to delegation issues, so diversification would protect you long run. And work might follow from unexpected places when you meet more people. You could also take on business development, internal training, or pro bono type work during this time so you can show you’ve been making an effort to actively integrate into the wider company
