Been introducing myself mostly to the heads of each department, head of marketing, head of sales, head of product development. to get a better idea of what everyone does, and asked sales/product for walkthroughs of the products so that I know exactly what we offer as a company

Partners, is it okay to send a deliverable without your review?

Q about workload for those at ‘traditional’ agencies: how many projects you working on each week, how many hours a day are you ‘actually’ working, and what’s expected turn time on a project?

If you had the opportunity to take 3-6 months off work right now, what would you do during that time?

I’ve always wondered how are lawyers chosen to be recognized in magazines or online publications as “Best Lawyers”/“Rising Stars”? I’ve always assumed it’s a circle jerk of some sorts for Big Firms nominating each other, but I have no idea.

Help! Those who use tablets for work: iPad Pro or Surface?? I can't decide between the two. Will be used as a supplement to my work computer (note-taking, marking up docs, remote work, etc.)

Just saw colleagues's file name is "OSC" for an Order to Show Cause. I thought "OSC really just means WTF in legalese" then laughed to myself for a solid 5 min... am I cracked? Need sleep send help

Started at a new firm 5 months ago and I still don’t have a full workload and because of that my billing sucks. I’ve reached out to my supervising attorney, 2 partners, and even looped in someone from admin just to see if she knew if anyone needs help. I specifically say things like “can I take some work off your hands? I need more billable work” and I get a few small things but still behind on my total billables. One of the partners talked to me about my billing but I just feel stuck. Cont’d

Taxing bonuses question - I was taxed on my bonus at 37% when my actual federal tax rate will be lower. I know they used the aggregate method to calculate tax but I don’t want them to and am fine with paying any additional tax in the spring. Anyone have any success getting them to change methods?

Could people who are in-house for life sciences/biotech/pharma share their day-to-day work experiences? Thank you in advance for sharing!

I know it’s been said before but Jesus Christ the chip on south Florida litigator’s shoulders is something else.

Currently in ID looking to switch over to a position as a financial services attorney or a related role. Does anyone have advice on how to break into this industry or materials/CLEs I could use to build a knowledge base?

Am I making enough profit for my firm?

I became a 2 year lawyer in September. I started working at my firm, a mid-sized firm practicing commercial business litigation and PI, in March of 2020. Last year I made the firm $180k from my billable hours and I was paid $85k + full health and other benefits.

This year, I'm on track to make about $150k and to make the firm about $450k from my billable hours and PI cases that I originated and settled.

Trying to do right for my firm. I'm treated well.

Is it reasonable to be expected to spend 20-30 non-billable hours a month checking your paralegal’s work? (i.e. summarizing hundreds of records and bills). The partner said he “didn’t use paralegals” at his previous firm and eating the time is an “investment in yourself.” Is this common?

Just lateraled and looks like I’ll be taking on a sizeable privacy practice from an associate who left recently. Any benefit to CIPP and CIPM training/certification as a lawyer? In DC if that matters.

Anyone make the jump from legal practice to being a professor with a similar pay range? I always thought if I didn’t practice law I would’ve liked to teach. Not sure I can give up the pay I have now, but would be really cool if I could get a gig as a professor that had a similar salary to what I currently net.

Does anyone have experience going to work for a tech company? There's some counsel opportunities I'm looking at Airbnb, which seems exciting. Wondering if it's worth it to bail on partner track.

Is there a market for lawyers to add expertise In crisis management or reputation management? My goal is to counsel clients on how to respond to media inquiries without saying or posting something detrimental to a potential litigation while still maintaining communication with their client base. If so, how to break into that industry? Courses? Books? Certifications?

How long can I take off for my wedding and then separately for my honeymoon?

Does your firm do anything for yearly work anniversaries? It’s obviously not a big deal but I made it to a year at a firm with high attrition (at least ten associates in our division alone have left in my time here) and have received no acknowledgement of this fact. Nor have I heard anything about a year review. I’d take an atta boy and pat on the back.

Is it difficult to add bankruptcy to my practice? Any resources you would recommend?
