What is the difference between Of Counsel and Counsel at Ogletree? Sorry if this has been asked before, but I can’t find the thread.

Counsel = non-partner track, role not on a lock-step raise/promotion scale. Also much smaller bonus opportunity typically.

Of counsel = partner track. Has exceeded the 9 levels of the lockstep program, raises aren’t as guaranteed, but bonus opportunities remain the same as lockstep program

This is correct. I will say that if you move to one you aren’t locked in forever. Ie if you move to Counsel because you’re not interested in shareholder now, but then decide that you do want to get back on the shareholder track, you can always move to of counsel later on. And vice versa. But from what I’ve been told it is harder to move back to SH track later on in that you have to work back up to it (not speaking from experience — just rumors).

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.

How easy is it to get a mortgage for the second home?

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?

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?
