Gov law is the best. I sat in my office and thought about poo poo while I stared at maps for a few hours today. It will help me for a trial I'm doing next month, but how the hell would you bill for that? From the outside it just looked like I was doing nothing.

The absolute worst government job I ever had we had to do 6-minute increment timekeeping. We had no client, we had our own budget, and didn't bill anything to anybody. We did it solely on the off chance we could move for attorney's fees if some random loving case made it through the ponderous administrative process to a court that could award them. We had literally never even sought attorneys fees, much less been awarded any, but our psychopath boss made us keep that time. It was like sixty collective man hours a day we spent just entering time. That place sucked for a lot of reasons. My current government job is the best government job and government lawyers are the best lawyers.

Yeah I'm lucky that my boss is chill and cynical as hell. Watching him navigate the bureaucracy is always pretty funny and he's the first one to go home, so he's always trying to get poo poo done as quickly and efficiently as possible so we could start talking about good places to eat again So glad I don't have to deal with law firm/corporate/client poo poo which had so much to do with theater and stress just for stress's sake.

I think some of those law firm partners like it. They are “A type” and “extroverts”. Idk, seems hideous

Yeah I had a government job where we had to do 6-minute increment timekeeping because it was a call center and everyone hates call center employees and wants them to suffer.

Does anyone have any knowledge about Mullen Coughlin? A recruiter reached out to me about a remote position for incidence response. A quick search online suggests that the pay is acceptable but the workload is terrible.

What kind of lawyer do you hire to review equity compensation and liquidity event triggers etc. It's a privately held company but they do private equity investments periodically which are liquidity event triggers, allegedly Will get the contract Tuesday, it sounds like We're in California and the company is HQ in Colorado Edit: HOW do you go about hiring a lawyer for this stuff Double edit: it's not a startup Hadlock fucked around with this message at 17:12 on May 31, 2024 |

I'd search for employment attorneys but specifically with terms like "contract negotiation" or "compensation." I know nothing about either of these firms but they are examples of what I'm talking about : https://www.minnisandsmallets.com/practice-areas-employment-law/employment-agreements/contract-review-and-negotiation/ https://www.ottingerlaw.com/silicon-valley-employment-lawyers/

Can also search for "executive compensation," they get lumped in with the tax group a lot.

Once talked to an attorney who only specialized in ERISA. Like everything super specialized in lawyer work it seemed to work for him because he was really needed and also because he actually liked doing it and feeling needed
