Getting fired from biglaw, have 90 days to figure out options...what to do?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 5th, 2016 12:49 AM Author: bright queen of the night Subject: Getting fired from biglaw in 90 days..join plaintiff side? Kind of always wanted to do this...P's side seems like a better/work life balance because they don't care about producing perfect documents every time and I am generally a greedy MF so I think I would fit right in...thoughts? I have a connection to the managing partner at the best P's firm in town so I could easily make the switch...other option is just go work at another big firm, but the thought of doing the same shit in a different office across the street makes me sad (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3118982&forum_id=2#29755971) |

Date: February 5th, 2016 12:48 PM Author: aromatic glassy meetinghouse puppy You don't even need any of that. Just try getting clients first...worry about the actual legal work later.
If you can't get clients, whatever experience you have at a plaintiffs firm won't even matter. |

Date: February 6th, 2016 2:58 AM Author: Mustard Public Bath National Security Agency Well when you get the talk you are not yet officially fired. The firm basically tells you that they don't want you around, but are willing to keep you employed for another x months until you find another job. During the interview you just make up bs regarding why you want to make a move, e.g., want to work on different type of cases, more responsibility etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3118982&forum_id=2#29763393) |

Date: February 5th, 2016 9:59 AM Author: spruce state I don't do that type of work, but have a lot of bros who do and I'm very knowledgeable about smaller firms as opposed to biglaw. Most of these places will love your T20 degree and biglaw experience. If you're a confident lit bro you'll do great. You probably write better than half the partners at the shitlaw firm, but don't get completely bogged down in motions if you want to maek it one day. I don't know what kind of depo experience you have coming out of biglaw, but build that up and get as much experience as you can doing depos and arguing motions, second chairing trials etc. once you hit the ground running in shitlaw.
