Got it. They stay quite busy. If you’re looking for hands-on experience and an opportunity to get your hands dirty in court and with depos, you’ll get it. Depending on where you are now, you might be disappointed in the type of work and sophistication of matters. Lit associates also make less at the firm in my experience. DM me if you want to chat abt them or other good options.

I’m a first year associate (almost second year). I work at a national firm and I’m not a litigator. When I started with the firm, I was told I could work out of any office. Long story short, I regret choosing the office that I chose. I’d like to transfer to another office - is that a difficult ask? I’m licensed in the state I’d like to transfer to. I don’t know how to make this request.
