The "BigLaw Attitude"

carolynelefant: Had lunch w/biglaw associate yesterday. He's a go-getter but he attitudes of his colleagues are far, far worse than I ever imagined.

• internetcases: @carolynelefant - His colleagues' attitudes are worse in what way? Pessimistic? Incredulous? Too serious? Lazy?

• SanDiegoInjury: @carolynelefant What is BigLaw's "bad attitude"? Snootiness to solos or small firms?

• carolynelefant: @internetcases They don't realize importance of blogs or writing articles to build business. And passive - just not taking charge of future

• carolynelefant: @SanDiegoInjury Don't realize that solos use tech & are competent. Have emailed biglaw colleagues re: congrats on cases & not even a thanks

• SanDiegoInjury: @carolynelefant BigLaw tend to be snooty b/c $ or "prestige" of BigLaw club. Don't realize that there are other, better metrics for success

• allisonshields: @carolynelefant Sounds like a blog post -- or series of them (re: attitudes of biglaw)

• ronfox: @SCartierLiebel @charlesthomas @carolynelefant as disturbing to me is media's focus on BigLaw - almost defining it for all as law practice

• charlesthomas: @ronfox @SCartierLiebel @carolynelefant What few depictions small firm lawyers have in the media is either incompetent or unethical or both.

• carolynelefant: @SCartierLiebel The only reason I sometimes care is because biglaw is source of referrals & hard to get connected if they look down.
