What is this DLA Piper firm people keep mentioning in this bowl? I have literally never run across it professionally but I see it is apparently top 5 gross income. Does it do that insurance defense thing people keep talking about here which I have also never heard of?

I find it really hard to believe you have not somehow run into DLA Piper. I’d never work there, but they are huge. It’s like not knowing who Baker McKenzie is.

They do IP and employment work in the nether reaches of the planet that other firms have never reached before or have connections. Other firms just reach out to DLA instead of make relationships with local counsel

DLA does much more than IP and employment. It has pretty much every type of corporate and litigation group possible because of the size of the firm. I hate working here but it’s undeniable that the firm does pretty much every kind of work.

Any input on employers is appreciated!

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…

it feels like every survey about working from home is (poorly) designed to answer the useless question "would you rather work from home or from the office." I submit that the set of people who prefers to have only one of those two options, always and forever, is the null set. which means it DOES NOT MATTER because the correct answer is always going to be "make both possible." you're welcome, HR departments everywhere.
