Date: May 15th, 2013 3:54 PM Author: splenetic dead scourge upon the earth Depends I guess. Generally if you are sanctioned you were being objectively unreasonable, which usually means you just wasted a bunch of the client's money arguing something that wasn't really an issue. So not only did the client have to pay a boatload for you to file all that shit, but it wasn't even about something that you had a remote chance of winning, and on top of that have to pay some of the other sides attorneys' fees.

Date: May 15th, 2013 3:59 PM Author: splenetic dead scourge upon the earth I've done some small transactional shit -- like shareholder agreements for smallish companies; franchise agreements; and some employment shit like severance agreements. The day to day was generally more enjoyable because it's more social and you are on the phone talking to people to find out what's important. There was also generally less anxiety because at the end of the day I knew there was no opposing counsel or judge to keep me honest -- I mean who the fuck really knows whether that provision is enforceable (and who cares?), no one is going to draft some extensive brief calling you out on it.
But at the end of the day it just feels meh. I didn't feel like I was creating a business just because I drafted the shareholder agreement. But I do feel like I won that discovery dispute. |

The fact is more "litigation" involves mind dead work as does corporate shit.
No one "wins" in litigation. Overly 90% of cases settle in my practice areas so LOL at you enjoying your triumphent mediation "victory" where you split the difference.

You do important work and the workload is very manageable (though it's far from a joke job like a lot of federal positions).
As a federal worker, though, we haven't seen a COLA raise in 3 years or so and there is none on the horizon. I make about 110k in ARE country. Certainly can't complain. |
