What made you decide to choose this field as your career? Do you feel fulfilled? At the start of the year I always find myself thinking about this. Just wondering how others feel

Was doing energy law and wanted a change. This paid better than the alternatives and kinda lined up with the date I had enough of my old law firm. Not loving it so far, It feels pretty vapid, but we’ll see how it goes.
Eventually I want to go back to Criminal Defense which is my true passion.

Not sure… thought I’d do environmental law and save the world. Ended up in real estate, which at the time I thought would be more related to environmental than it actually is. Now getting an opportunity to do a little green finance work, but not a ton.

Am I fulfilled? I guess more so than I’d be in other fields. But I’m not super excited about this career path and always find myself wondering if I’d be happier doing something else.

Working on a deal where buyer's side keeps on insisting on a POA to effectuate all actions of Seller under the agreement, including executing documents. I keep striking this and commenting that this is not standard. Has anyone dealt with this? I am okay with a limited POA based on the industry of the Seller, but not this general POA.

Scenario for my tech tran folks: a collaboration agreement includes a termination clause providing that either party may terminate the agreement if the other party breaches a "material" term of the agreement + not cured w/in 30 days. The term "material" is not defined therein. The agreement includes mutual warranties.

If a party breaches any warranty in the agreement, is the the other party automatically entitled to terminate the agreement for breach of a material term?
