Mid term career direction: due to connections I know of an ID firm with an actually good reputation that is planning to open an office in my market within the next year. I’m currently doing ID and will eventually leave it. BUT if the opportunity arises to get on the ground floor and help establish a new office is it worth taking the opportunity? That looks good professionally right?

I am extremely burnt out. I went to my first trial a few weeks ago and it was two weeks of no sleep and constant berating by the lead counsel. The months leading up to that trial were also very intense. I need a break, but I don’t even know who to talk to about this. I work for a boutique so our HR department is only two people who don’t seem very helpful. But I also haven’t connected well with anyone at the firm (I started remotely during the pandemic). Any advice on how to approach this?

Does anyone have any info on the boutique IP litigation firm Oppenheim + Zebrak?

Don't big law partners at the very top of the market make more than partners at MBB or MDs at investment banks?

My stress level is bad due to working for incompetent people. One partner would send me work with garbage instructions or for things that are completely out of my expertise, and when I ask for guidance they turn around and ask another attorney to explain to me. What the heck - why would you give me work if you don’t even know how to do the work or what you’re looking for? How do these people make partners?

Has anyone ever considered leaving the US for Portugal and explored exit opportunities there?

Curious as to how others wind down after particularly long, taxing days. I sometimes have really tough days (lots of work, meeting relatively short deadlines, etc.) and I find it really hard to wind down. Also, sometimes if I make a mistake, it’s hard for me to drown out my thoughts and not dwell on it for the rest of the night. I try to remind myself not to be too hard on myself . However, I find it physically hard to wind down.

Sell-side M&A folks, do you usually ask buyer's counsel for a copy of their closing binder?

I had a disbarred attroney interview for a assistant position. The conduct was effectively she had emotional issues, abandoned her clients and then was disbarred.

She seems as if she got the help she needs and can move on productively. The pros are she can effectively do everything I do and she is cheep. (For obvious reasons).

I want to give her a chance am I making a deal with the devil?
