An attorney in the Bay Area blurbs about the amusing and serious experiences of a legal career. Friday, March 06, 2009. At the firm, I was repping tiny startup companies and clutching at the skirt of BigCo, pleading for provisions. Now I am. BigCo (Might as well come out with it: Sun Microsystems.) It's taken some getting used to; I'm still learning to say No in negotiations, and that sometimes it's okay to have residuals in an NDA. Some other things I've had to adjust to:. A good read indeed! All those ...

An attorney in the Bay Area blurbs about the amusing and serious experiences of a legal career. Thursday, January 29, 2009. So my first week at work. The training has been extensive; learning the acronyms alone could be a career path. I'm really, really excited about a 40-page manual they gave me. It's the playbook for one of our most frequently negotiated agreements. It breaks down the agreement line by line. When I described this to a friend of mine, he said, "Oh! Just like what telemarketers use!

An attorney in the Bay Area blurbs about the amusing and serious experiences of a legal career. Monday, April 20, 2009. I was on a call early this morning when Mike dropped by my office. Being on the phone, he wrote a message on my white board:. You'll recall that I bonded with Sun's GC because we both blog. He clarified later that some of the info revealed to us was bloggable, but some not. I'll stick to the bloggable. I wish you and yours at the big star in this galaxy the best.

An attorney in the Bay Area blurbs about the amusing and serious experiences of a legal career. Friday, October 23, 2009. Time to share some observations and advice on the market. Caveat being that I don't know whether my own experiences are part of a trend (local or global? Or the product of my own luck-making. The goal is to meet with attorneys and ask them be part of your army. Treat them right, don't let them forget you, and they will feed you when they hear about contract work. I'm actually about to...

An attorney in the Bay Area blurbs about the amusing and serious experiences of a legal career. Friday, August 07, 2009. Sun's Office of Career Planning. There are many odd things about being in an acquisition, not the least of which is having an enormous support system for job searching. It's also wonderful. I have an interview coming up, and I don't want to jinx myself so I won't say much - except that I'm so excited about the position and the company that I've barely slept for several nights. Sun Kim,...

An attorney in the Bay Area blurbs about the amusing and serious experiences of a legal career. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. I've been repeatedly learning a lesson about working in-house: don't let your clients bully you. This is difficult because attorneys want to make their clients happy; even in-house, where your "clients" are other people at your company. Thats okay. Ive been doing this a long time. Im the gas. Youre the breaks. It works. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Find me on LinkedIn.

An attorney in the Bay Area blurbs about the amusing and serious experiences of a legal career. Thursday, June 11, 2009. I had one laugh line: Our new policy has 12 steps, and I said, "I assure you, that's purely coincidental." I paused, and got a chuckle. Way to go girl! 12 steps. haha Im going to pretend I dont know (or more accurately need to know) what that means! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). San Francisco, California, United States.

An attorney in the Bay Area blurbs about the amusing and serious experiences of a legal career. Monday, March 30, 2009. I came very close to being on a jury. I was summoned, and when I checked online, my group had to report. This is the third time in as many years that I've been summoned - the other end of California's massive prison system, I suppose. But I never had to show up before! I dont think there's really a chance you would have been selected anyway - one of the 'benefits' of the profession.

An attorney in the Bay Area blurbs about the amusing and serious experiences of a legal career. Friday, August 21, 2009. Yesterday the news was out - the Oracle acquisition was approved in the US. I don't think there will be any changes until the EU approves it. I don't mind too much; crunchtime performance makes the clients that much happier, and there's nothing like a happy client.
