Thoughts on Freshfields’ tech transactions practice (NY office)?
1
I’m an associate at Hogan Lovells. I’m bringing in small cases to partners I do not normally work with. When entering the engagement and submitting paperwork the partners are taking credit for bringing in the business, which I understand, but I was wondering if there’s a way for me to gain recognition for this business development? One of the partners recommended I share in the origination credits and asked how I’d like to do that. I have no clue and I do not want to overstep/be too greedy. Help
How do you figure out whether a firm actually has enough work for new associates? Looking for a good lateral opportunity in the TM/copyright/tech transactions space. Don't want to stall out with a firm that might not have enough billables despite a job posting/summer associate hiring, especially since soft IP as a practice seems to be dwindling across a lot of biglaw firms. Would also appreciate any recommendations for firms with robust soft IP/tech trans groups.
My friend is in that group. He is the only person I knew (personally) who billed more than 2,300 hours last year.
Just interviewed someone who left that group. Seemed miserable and is largely M&A support with a small team. You can do better.

Big fan.
Freshfields cool.
Did you get an offer?
go ask them
Congrats! How did they go?
