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?

That seems about right if it’s not including charges etc. Those may or may not turn into something. The more senior you get the more you add to your docket but many of those cases may be inactive/dormant or pending appeal. I’ve touched so many files it’s crazy but I also do a lot of counseling too.

If you are working with mainly one or two partners, I recommend being communicative with them regarding prioritizing. That way you can manage your caseload and if you need help they can intervene.

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?
