Date: July 19th, 2018 5:33 PM Author: Haunting flesh abode for contingency cases, i evaluate it very conservatively (ie, low settlement %). for hourly, i evaluate it based on having worked on these types of cases hundreds of times in the past.

Date: July 19th, 2018 6:35 PM Author: Haunting flesh abode business is difficult to source; most people who promised to send me referrals haven't come through yet, but others have really been key to my earlier traction.
not sure if I'm "surprised" by the above, but notable nonetheless. |

Date: July 19th, 2018 5:39 PM Author: henna senate sandwich Business lit sounds like torture to me.
How complex?
Only part of my job I don't like is managing outside counsel who have to deal with our litigation. I would chop my dick off before I spent any actual time engaging in business lit. |
|
Date: July 19th, 2018 5:41 PM Author: twinkling fat ankles business lit isn't that bad. Lots of it is breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty type shit.
Only problem I run into is getting into the specifics of certain industries, knowing the lingo, documentation, procedures etc. that are specific to that industry. |

Date: July 19th, 2018 5:43 PM Author: rose galvanic stage mad-dog skullcap and discovery. shitloads of qb entries and bank statements for various accounts and vendor contracts and shit is not fun like criminal that's mainly photos and lab results.

|
Date: July 19th, 2018 5:53 PM Author: twinkling fat ankles discovery kind of ties into my "industry" complaint - unless I've done work in whatever industry my client works in, sometimes I'm not sure what documentation is necessary to even ask for outside of the obvious bank statements, quickbooks, invoices, emails, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4030424&forum_id=2#36461324) |
|
Date: July 19th, 2018 5:57 PM Author: rose galvanic stage mad-dog skullcap just learn the business on their dime. you ask for discovery for those basics. anything that looks odd or you don't get, just send a second set of discovery or go straight to depos asking them shit. arguments come up afterwards.

|
Date: July 19th, 2018 5:44 PM Author: henna senate sandwich What about it do you like?
I actually enjoy most tranny work. (Also, I'm in house so my job is more like a generic executive who deals with legal shit sometimes)
Do you enjoy it, or just don't hate it? |
|
Date: July 19th, 2018 5:52 PM Author: twinkling fat ankles I just don't hate it. At the end of the day, its just assholes arguing over money anyway. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4030424&forum_id=2#36461316) |
|
Date: July 19th, 2018 5:50 PM Author: henna senate sandwich Really -- it's just discovery and the lack of control of the process that I hate about biz lit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4030424&forum_id=2#36461305) |
