There's a clique of attorneys here who get all the plum assignments and mentorship. Feels impossible to break in, even though I'm outperforming half of them. Strategies for cracking the inner circle?

The old adage “it’s who you know and not what you know” comes into play. Start socializing with the rest of them. Hard workers who keep their heads down get rewarded with more work while the fun ones get the cushy assignments. It’s abhorrent but sadly corporate America has not caught up to dispensing with the nonsense. Be visible, be heard, fake it until you make it.

It can be impossible to deal with financial losses due to declining health or unforeseen circumstances by not having life insurance. In these cases, the solution to your debts (that can affect the financial stability of you or your loved ones) may fall within the category of life insurance.

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.

My firm typically does insurance defense, but we take plaintiffs cases here and there. Is it typical that work done by associates on contingency cases isn’t counted toward their billable hour requirements unless and until we receive our fee on the case? This is my first experience with this, but it’s hard for me to reach my hours as is, without spending time on non billable cases like this with no assurance that I’ll see billable credit at the end.
