Wondering if this is a unique situation? Have been in my specialty for 10 years. MUCH senior attorney in a completely different specialty came in a few years ago, determines he doesn’t want to do his specialty anymore, identifies my specialty (which he has no experience) as what he would like to do instead. My company then creates a senior position for him in my specialty (which I previously asked for) which would have been the next step for me promotion wise. Anyone else?

Hi Folks,

I'm in negotiation with the this data company (which is only 10 % over offered fixed ctc) but HR hasn't shown much confidence. They have asked for week's time & say can only offer a signing bonus. I'm getting a bit nervous as it's an opportunity I've always wanted!

Am I panicking unnecessarily? Should I hold my nerve? Or should I break the logjam and just accept?

PS I had just joined another org because they were taking too long to process + my dream co is only matching current CTC.

How far do you require depts be with negotiating commercial contract terms before your legal review? I’m talking routine low value and risk contracts (e.g., vendor services), where Legal terms won’t kill the deal. My clients blindly forward contracts. I say “are you sure this term is ok?” And often get “no.” They’re surprised because they never read them. Checking the temp to see what others experience, what might be normal. I feel contract training in my clients’ future...
