how are you valuing it? hourly times rate minus what's in trust already? wishful thinking? what have you collected so far that cleared your account or was cash[not irs dude].

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
