This post/question definitely isn’t for the average successful big law corporate lawyer since it feels like I’ve taken a very unorthodox route.. I am a junior attorney that finally got out of litigation. I took a role as general counsel for a rather big (as in presence in multiple states/facilities in multiple cities) vertically integrated cannabis company. The CEO (ex corporate lawyer) believes in me and is willing to train me in M&A, reverse mergers, regulatory compliance, etc. (Continued..)

Can someone please help me with the scope of Advisory role in Procurement Transformation team ?
Also, how is WLB and travel requirements away from base location.

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)

Any advice welcome!

I've been following Coforge LinkedIn page, and I have decent offer from them. In one call HR said we will be moving towards 5 days work from Office, to which I said I don't mind. Now that aside, their LinkedIn posts everyone at VP SVP levels are joining.. seems like they are growing very fast, as hiring at such high Positions happens only that time.

Question is - whenever I compare Coforge with any other people say avoid Coforge.. Why????

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

All this talk about firms doing stealth layoffs has me spooked. Any BigLaw firms in Dallas doing this? I’ve noticed some surprising associates leave my firm over the past couple of months and suspect at least some of them were ice-outs…

Been waiting years to buy a SS Daytona & it finally came. Black dial from AD @ retail. Given today’s environment is it still a good idea? Thoughts? How did Rolexes perform in 08-09? Daytonas 08-09?

My local Safeway is already stocking Valentine's Day chocolates. What would they do without holiday candy to sell? Is this their main purpose? I wonder what they do in off season (if that exists)

It happened again today. I was walking from my car into a building and remembered I had forgotten to lock my car. I had the urge to turn around but I remembered that the only valuable thing in my car was my work laptop. And I would cry tears of joy if someone broke into my car and stole my work laptop. Can anyone relate to this feeling?

How do you handle it when you notice differences in attorney billing styles, without throwing someone (billing much more per task) under the bus? I want to bring it up with partner but unsure if/how.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good legal recruiter in the Denver area? I love my firm, but my group is really slow and I feel like I need to make a move. (4th year transactional associate) Thanks!

Dumb question: If a firm wants to run a conflicts, do you just type up a list or do you request from current firm?

Big law firms you’re least impressed with- go!

Why are some attorneys better than others? In other words, what makes someone an average attorney that does average work versus someone who brings in the big, newsworthy cases and handles high-stakes matters? Is the latter attorney actually better at the job or better at marketing?

My firm recently changed its name. How do I update that on fishbowl? It keeps asking me to type in my work email and then doesn’t give me a way to change the name after I verified it 🤷🏻‍♂️

So the feeling that you’re forgetting something important because you have so much on your plate…that never goes away right?

I accepted a job offer in April to start a few months from now, post clerkship. All conflicts/background check went smoothly etc. Since accepting my offer, the firm has increased their 1st year pay across the board to be higher than my offer was (which was, at the time, what 2nd yeas got). When should I reach out to the recruitment attorney leading up to my start date? Or should I? (Haven't spoken since May) Should I bring up the salary or just assume its higher?
