While discussing the role with HR pre and post the interviews & offer, I had specifically ask the HR to tag me to Ahmedabad location as that's my hometown and I do not wish to relocate. But she has rolled out the offer for Pune location ane verbally ( isn't giving me in writing ) assured me that the location will be flexible. May I know from the fellow Globers if we have location flexibility or WFH option available? Globant India Pv

Depends on the kind of cases....50 construction accidents are very different from 50 MVAs or slip & falls
I agree. I think it also depends on how big the cases are and what your firm's business model is. My firm really emphasizes quantity, but they also want us to handle big cases--the work required on those cases definitely detracts from my ability to settle a high volume of cases. I'm starting to feel pretty burned out, partially from the constant feeling of failing to produce numbers.
My firm caps you at 75 cases because based on their experience, they think that’s the highest manageable amount. I agree and think anything over that is too many and you’re not able to work up your cases to their maximum value
Wow to manage that much as a single lawyer is impressive. Im not that talented lol
Maybe like 20-40. Depends on type of cases and how much support staff you have. And frankly what you’re being paid to do it.
It really depends on the type of case. A rear ender with clear liability and simple injuries is easy enough. You send a basic set of discovery and depose the driver and that’s that. You have one medical expert and maybe a billing expert. Now if you have a brain injury with 6 experts in damages alone a life care plan of 7 figures plus disputed liability that’s another story. You can’t handle those well and get value if you have too many cases.
I handle mostly big cases so I don’t have a large case load. Others at my firm handle mostly small cases and have a huge case load. I really don’t know how they do it. It’s a skill knowing how much time and money to put in a case before you enter the zone of diminishing return. And being ok with it.
Personally, my own case load is a little under 200 cases - most cases in litigation. In my opinion, it’s too many to be able to work them up properly and give them the proper attention. But I’m not the boss, so I just keep plugging away as best I can. I’ve heard 75 is usually the cap at other firms though.
Wow. I have 86 cases, I work nonstop and still feel like I’m drowning and flirting with malpractice. Idk how that could even be reasonable.
I have about 90 cases of which 65 are in litigation but I also supervise two case managers whom have about a 90-100 case load each. For litigation it’s too much I think 75 is a good number if doing only litigation.
75-100
Very much depends on the type of cases. 75 might be okay if they are similar and single defendants. If they are larger, multiple defendants, or parallel litigation in multiple venues, then it should be much lower. More than 75 could be cool if you’ve got a skilled paralegal handling the bulk of discover and other staff support.
