I enjoyed my time at big firms but not everything that came with it.
I started my legal career at a big DC firm doing a mix of commercial and employment litigation. I really liked the kinds of cases I worked on and the chance to collaborate with great lawyers. But I found that the administrative and business development responsibilities – especially at the partner level – weren’t things I enjoyed. After relocating to Buffalo to be closer to family, I worked at several large and mid-sized firms, but those same obligations followed.
This position lets me focus on the parts of the job I enjoy.
What I enjoyed about big firms was the interesting legal work, the resources, and the smart colleagues. I still get all of that here – but with a lot more flexibility. I don’t have to commute, I haven’t had to travel for an assignment yet, and I’m still able to tap into the firm’s full range of resources and support. And I can pick up the phone (or jump on a video conference) and have access to subject matter experts on any employment and labor question. The firm is also at the cutting-edge of utilizing technology that allows me to easily access the firm’s collective knowledge on just about any topic in labor and employment law that one could imagine.
The work is interesting and it’s not “cookie-cutter.”
