I wish we had them. I wouldn’t feel the need to get up and move around as much. I’m in Houston (2014 office) and all we have is one or two treadmill desks. I visited the older Denver office recently and they have a good number of power adjustable standing desks. Jealous

In a HEARTBEAT. I hate sitting all day, I always stand when I’m in the office...

I have a standing desk in the office - I would want to be standing at a conference/audit room table thouvh

We were able to get them. Such a game changer

We have to pay to use them.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Considering taking a position with a small-cap in the US trying to build their legal department. The title is standard “counsel” although the work would be with the senior leadership team and reporting to the GC in Europe.

If it matters, I am a 6th year and have been told that I will be expected to hire a junior or paralegal as we build up.
