What things have you found to have the best effort-to-benefit ratio when it comes to cultivating good workplace culture and morale? Not talking just about lawyers but staff and paralegals as well.

Does anyone see a shift in the industry wherein less emphasis is placed on billiable hours? I used to work at a firm where the average stint for an associate is 1 year or less. They lost clients as the clients got sick of seeing a new associate on their files every 6 months. The founding partner was near retirement so his goal was to maximize revenue rather than long term career development. I don’t see this as sustainable especially given millennial culture emphasis on work-life balance.

Alright my fellow fish I need advice. My last two jobs have been in a very specialized non-lucrative area of law. My state Bar is hiring senior attorneys for their Lawyer Regulation and Enforcement Department. What interests me is that it get me back into litigating (my current role is administrative) and it is a state job with competitive pay and good benefits. Does anyone have experience with this type of role? Would I be shooting myself in the foot if I take this job?

Do you work/bill on Labor Day?

Hey all, my v100 firm is hiring mid-level and senior L&E associates in its SF and LA offices. The LA office has 2 partners, 1 counsel and 7 associates, the SF office is one partner with 4 associates. The practice is lit heavy with about 30% advice and counsel and some employment/labor deal work. Feel free to dm if interested.

My firm has ~50 attorneys and is the best in the field. all decisions are made by one man, eg bonuses, raises, promotions. There is no transparency. The only objective measure might have been billing. The billing requirement is 1900/ yr, but a total of ~200 hours are no-charged automatically, and he goes after closing the case and no charges hours based on factors unknown. The result is that no one can track their own billables, and the criteria for bonuses are a mystery. Is this normal?
