Thoughts on Ogletree vs Littler? Smaller market and office. My sense is Littler is slightly more prestigious, but I liked the people better at Ogletree? Coming from an Am Law 60-100.

As an OD attorney, my understanding is Littler’s base salary is higher, but they have an almost nonexistent (or at least non-transparent) bonus program which makes up the difference a bit. Depending on what you mean by “prestige” littler may have the upper hand on a firm-wide level, but it varies by market. Overall I think it’s negligible and you’d be better off going to work wherever you think you’ll enjoy more.

My significant other is at Ogletree and really likes the people — they seem really nice and good to work with. I don’t think the prestige gap is super significant, but I think Littler paid more in base comp for a while (maybe still?) which might be part of it.

I practice in this area (albeit on the other side). Both Littler and Ogletree are tops in the management-side L&E space. Littler might be *slightly* more prestigious, but not significantly. I know excellent attornies at both firms. Honestly, it comes down to fit in the specific office and practice group you will be working in.

A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.

Case load= malpractice? Small plaintiff’s firm of 25 attorneys. I was a 2 year associate hired and given 50 active files in pre litigation status. 9 mos later a partner quit and I inherited 45 more. I got up to 105 files. Now I hover at 85 active files in varying stages of pre lit. I asked managing partner for help and was told to settle more claims to lessen my load. Is this what people consider negative work culture?

Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?

Hello, I’m an associate (almost at the one year mark) at a midsize firm on the EPL team. I did about 2 years of employment law as a clerk during school and know that’s what I want to go into. I’ve asked for more EPL work but keep catching PI cases. I second-chaired an employment trial but don’t see any EPL work for the foreseeable future and wasn’t getting as much EPL exposure as I wanted before the trial. Any advice on a lateral move to a bigger firm with a broader range of EPL work?
