What is the vibe at Hinshaw and Culbertson? I would likely be in a satellite office, not Chicago. Is it stuffy and conservative?

Recently moved to Houston! Opened to meeting people 🙂. F32. Currently living in downtown.

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

I’m five years into this game and I still get panicky before client calls... All calls, really. How do I get over this?

Hi All,
My company has decided to call employees back to office. Can anyone please suggest where to find stay near Emabssy Tech Village? It's my first time in Bangalore so I have least idea about places and rent!

It’s pretty boring. What’s the fun thing we can do in Bangalore for this weekend

Working as a regional business development manager at an interior designing company based in Kerala. Looking for opportunities in other sectors and cities.

Any thoughts on the IP litigation outlook in Atlanta and/or Charlotte? Looking to move but I’m not sure of the workload there. I predominately focus on patent infringement at my current firm.

Next week I’m having my first lateral interview as a junior associate. I’m very nervous because the group with whom I’m interviewing works with life science/tech clients and the attorneys have strong science/tech backgrounds; and I do not. However, I am very, very interested in transitioning to this practice. And I reaaally want this job because it’s at my dream firm. How would you recommend preparing for the lateral interview?

Wanting to switch from litigation to in house. What should I make sure I do before I start applying? Do referrals from someone inside a company matter that much when applying? I'm burnt out, I need an escape from billables. Help me out!

Billables are low this month. Like I have 65 billable hours in so far. I’ve messaged partners over the last week to try and get more cases but there are tons of new associates who were just onboarded and were at a low point for business. I’m freaking out

What is the scoop on med mal defense vs. plaintiff work? Is defense more respected by other practice areas if I were to switch somewhere else later?

I applied to a position that brands itself as civil litigation and apparently the role is med mal defense. Not sure what to go by but would like to do a little research before I call them back.

Any family lawyers here?

I'm a long time prosecutor getting into the ID game and billable hours. Are there any resources out there that can help me get more effective/efficient without spending months/years learning the hard way? Some days I'm at the office 10 hours, took virtually no breaks and yet only bill 7. 🤬

Anyone marry their law school sweetheart?

Where are the big law staff attorneys at? Mind sharing what the difference in compensation/workload is compared to associates?

Any tips when leaving a firm? Younger associate <1 year.

Rising 2L here…Just found out yesterday that one of my top target law firms is not participating in OCIs (they don’t have offices in my state). Any advice on the best way to move forward with them? Still planning to apply, just want to know what I should be doing. Thanks!

Any workers comp attorneys? Thinking of transitioning. What’s the job like?

Second year associate here. How should I deal with the one partner in my practice group who seems to exclusively give me lousy assignments that we’ll never get paid for? I get great work from everyone else.

I recently had a specialist partner send me a fairly nasty email after I (a transactional first year) was told to ask them to review something ASAP that had clearly been on my partner’s radar for over a week. Why am I taking the (honestly justified) blame for this? Surely it should be obvious that I’m just the messenger here.

What's the most amount of background checks done on you in a 3 month period. I'm working on 5 so far.

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.

Any ID attorneys get their CPCU? Trying to make myself more marketable as claims counsel or in-house for a carrier (not doing ID).

Does anybody work in a rule for a litigation finance or legal funding company who doesn't hail from a big law firm in background? Basically I have a lot of interest in the area have read a book about it in my free time and was wondering what sort of entry level opportunities I should be seeking.

Enviro/ natural resource lawyers— what’s your dream job?

Best small carry on? They keep shrinking the acceptable luggage size and half of the models out there don't qualify

I found out a soon to be 2nd year associate got a 10k raise making his salary 110k now, while I, the soon to be 3rd year associate got a 2k raise making my salary 107k. So now the 2nd year male associate is making more money than me. How do I bring this up to the partners?

How long should it take to do a conflict check for a 2nd year lateral associate? I am trying to figure out how long I should wait before following up.
