Nice group of people, very busy. Definitely intense, and what you get in extra money from the big 4 is at cost. Widely known for poaching big 4 lawyers for 3-5 years and then sending them off to work in house. Do not expect to make partner. It's nearly impossible without a massive book of business.

That's a helpful response, thank you!

I love my firm, tho I’m in a different group and east coast office. I will say tho that there is always talk among the associates that the LEPG group is a tough one. MLB being known for the work, it is always busy. But otherwise our culture is great and I really like my counterparts I work with who are on the west coast.

I have heard that the average billing for LEPG is higher than other practice groups. I average around 2000.

Ik one LEPG associate that went to apple. That was pretty cool

Additional Posts in Labor & Employment Attorneys

I have a governmental entity client in Texas that wants to offer 6 weeks of paid parental leave for all employees, even those who aren’t eligible for FMLA. After the paid 6 weeks, the employee can choose to continue paid leave using any accrued personal leave.

Texas does not have a paid parental leave statute.

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?

What is considered a “large” caseload in employment litigation? I work at a large L&E boutique law firm and handling about 14-15 active litigation cases in state/federal court or arbitration. Some of these matters are multi-plaintiff and multi-defendant cases, but none are class actions. This does not include any matters I am handling in the charge stage or in pre-litigation. Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?
