 Starting April 30th, lawyers and staff at Paul Weiss will be reporting in for work at the office 4 days a week, Monday through Thursday.  Friday is optional. Already Skadden, Simpson and others have instituted this RTO policy. The posters on professional anonymous networks Reddit and Fishbowl aren't happy about this shift from 3 days a week to 4. For instance, on Reddit there's this comment: "They’re riding a high with the recent news of revenue and PEP growth. I wouldn’t be shocked if they tried to sneak in a few more similar measures in the coming weeks." Yes, this week there probably were a lot of high-fives at Paul Weiss, with the surges in revenue and Profts Per Equity Partner. Also, in an interview with  Law.com chair Brad Karp came across as 1) ahead of the curve with discussion how AI is being used throughout practices and 2) a shoot from the hip talker as he indicated AI could eliminate young associate positions. All that, of course, went viral on social....

 Oh, AI will be one of the most disruptive forces in employment. However, along the way there will be setbacks in the pacing of integrating AI products into everything from strategic planning to operations. Predictably among the setbacks will a failure in the review process. Since AI is known to generate inaccuracies its "work" has to be "checked." In a Law.com article chair of Paul Weiss Brad Karp notes that all the AI will be overseen by lawyers. Karp indicates that AI is being integrated throughout the practices at the law firm. However, we know that reviewers can drop the ball, whether it's in a transactional process at a law firm or the logistics in a supply chain.  Suppose the midlevel lawyer checking AI's work product is off that day? Maybe that's from lack of sleep or just the human tendency not only to focus full attention on details? A major mistake is overlooked. That has serious consequences. The results of that will go viral. Doubt will be ...

What will happen to the JD Class of, say, 2027? Already by then AI could be doing the tasks students assumed they would be doing after graduating a top law school and becoming licensed as lawyers.  Those outside the boundaries of actually practicing law have been telling me for a few years that most of the legal sector would be automated. They made a point of explaining that to me because I'm career coach and could warn college students and their parents to re-think any plan to apply to law school. Well, now someone high-placed in the profession of law is saying essentially the same thing, on the record. In the international edition of Law.com , chair of Paul Weiss Brad Karp gives the raw lowdown: “Over time, I believe we will see junior associates supplemented, if not significantly replaced, by technologists and data scientists for a broad portfolio of projects ... We will see more and more work come to be characterized as commoditized and increasingly be handled by AI technologis...

  The debate used to be: Is getting an advanced degree - that is, post-BA/BS - worth it? According to the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity,  43% yield a negative return. The Wall Street Journal published a series of articles showcasing the financial folly of many types of elite graduate degrees. Now. as the policies of the Trump administration kick in, that kind of talk may become irrelevant. As Ian Bogost documents in The Atlantic,  universities may no longer be able to fund graduate programs. Bogost mentions: "The Trump administration has  frozen ,  slashed ,  threatened , and otherwise obstructed the tens of billions of dollars in funding that universities receive from the government, and then  found ways around  the court orders that were meant to stop or delay such efforts." Soon that situation can worsen if there is a tax on endowments.  When I was matriculating for a Ph.D. in the humanities during the 1970s, some crusty pro...

 "Turnaround" is a 20th-century concept in business. Currently, in this new world order what's expected is "transformation." That is, an almost total retrofit of what had been. At law firm Paul Weiss chair Brad Karp has pulled off a transformation. Through a hire-wire act of investing major money in global and domestic growth and revamping the culture Karp has been able to differentiate that business from the growing number of competitors. There's a compelling reason for prospects to have Paul Weiss handle their legal problems and for clients such as financial powerhouse Apollo to stick with it. Law.com documents that Paul Weiss revenue has increased 32% and the all-important metric of Profits-Per-Equity-Partner has reached $7.5 million. From way back in 2008, Karp has been a risk-taker. Among his hit-the-ground-running disruptions was extending services from litigation to transactional and having enough confidence in the future of the firm to not lay off y...

  Lawyers are highly skilled with words. Actually the joke is that they went to law school instead of going for the MBA because they were strong verbally but sucked at math. Also, they typically make such a profound investment in matriculating at a top law school, becoming licensed and gaining experience through long hours with what is classified as the "objective" of achieving personal wealth (along with influence and power).  So, it was predictable that large law firms, constantly ranked in terms of financial metrics such as raw revenue and Profit Per Equity Partner (PPEP), would launch a fresh way of boosting that performance - and name it "Non-Equity Partner" (NEP). Kirkland & Ellis was the pioneer in the concept. As the Bloomberg Law YouTube points out, that's a misnomer. But it sure operates jolly fine as an enhancement for PPEP.  Expose "Servants of the Damned," a book published by David Enrich, also peeks under the hood of the large law ...

  First, the gender bias lawsuit "Tolton, et al. v Jones Day" collapsed. That had embedded hope of a jury trial which would break open Jones Day's black box.  Now, the lawsuit about equity in fathers' parental leave "Savignac v Jones Day" has been settled. The trial had been scheduled for November of this year.  Bloomberg Law  reports:  "The couple [Marc Savignac and Julia Sheketoff], Jones Day, and three of the firm’s partners filed their stipulation of dismissal, stating all claims in the case have been dismissed with prejudice, on Tuesday in the US District Court for the District of Columbia." Gone for now is the potential of insight into what goes on in those law firms' black boxes. It is easy to speculate that Jones Day didn't welcome increased scrutiny at a time when more of its  partners are leaping into Trump Administration 2.0.  Some may recall the prominent role Jones Day partner Don McGahn (he's back at the firm) had in Trump...

Monthly you authorize the big payouts for the expenses of building a career in a HCOL (high cost of living) area such as New York City or Los Angeles. So, it seems to make more and more sense to relocate your career to a LCOL (low cost of living) location. Not so fast. As this thread on Fishbowl indicates the tradeoff could be loss of career mobility. That especially applies if you opt to transfer from the headquarters in a pricey city to, for example, one of its offices in a smaller city in the midwest.  Work is a social context. Daily face to face interaction with those who can advance your career or even are aware of your value goes kaput.  Also, traditional assumptions hang on: If you were any good you would be part of the scene in those major hubs for stars in your profession.  This is exactly why the ambitious suck up the extreme housing costs of taking their first job in where the action is known to be. Cheap can have too expensive tradeoffs.  As a coach I adv...

In the new order of things more businesses have decided to solve their problems in-house. A sign of the times FTI Consulting, reports O'Dwyer Public Relations , is laying off about 330. The CEO Steven Gunby noted that 2024's second half had disappointing performance. The firm specializes in advisory services ranging from business transformation to e-discovery to strategic communications. Even in its reputation management niche demand had been lower. However, there had been an uptick in financial communications. Consultants I coach tell me there has been a sea change in how what they do is perceived. Theory is not respected. This circles back at least a quarter of a century ago to what public relations firms experienced. Prospects didn't want to hear a sermon on the dynamics of perception. They wanted to know what that particular firm would do at what price and on what deadline to fix their negative branding.  Incidentally, this antipathy about theory, sizes up BusinessInsi...

Since his early days in 2021 as CEO of Apollo Marc Rowan has diversified beyond private equity. One direction has been private credit. Now, it is strengthening its platform in real estate equity.  Apollo has announced: "Apollo (NYSE: APO) and Bridge Investment Group Holdings Inc. (NYSE: BRDG) (“Bridge” or the “Company”) today announced they have entered into a definitive agreement for Apollo to acquire Bridge in an all-stock transaction with an equity value of approximately $1.5 billion." Bridge is a leader in residential and industrial real estate. The legal advisor on this is Paul Weiss. Since 2008, that law firm has been representing Apollo in transactions. Currently Paul Weiss' M&A practice ranks fifth. That business is lucrative.  In the post-Lina Khan era M&A was supposed to gain traction. However, the chaos in the Trump Administration has made businesses uncertain about proposing those ventures. The encouraging news is that experienced watchers of the poli...

In 1636 the Puritans started Harvard for a very pragmatic purpose: to train clergy to minister in the new world. It wasn't to create a macro level of thought leadership.  Somehow that narrow career focus got derailed and higher education provided an insulated context for the life of the mind. That became a value in itself. For those who like that sort of thing such a setting was an oasis in a nation that essentially was, unlike much of Europe, anti-intellectual. Now, sure the oasis still exists. But if you leave that magic circle - that is, can't get employment as a professor or academic staff - you will find a cold reception. BusinessInsider  confirms what those of us in career coaching are well aware of: Not only your Ph.D. but even the BA/BS can make you unmarketable. Explicitly the article says: "These days, you’re better off with just a high school diploma instead of a Ph.D. if you want to find work fast."  Actually, this is not a result of what we're labelin...

The post on Reddit headlines with: "I'm so scared of being homeless again" That is the meme of this new order of things.  Recently homelessness has increased by 18.1%.  On the average, the cost of an apartment is $1326 a month.  Those LCOL (low cost of living) areas such as Arizona are no longer so LCOL. In that state rent is up 20%. There the average rent in Tucson is $966. The aging had flocked there. Meanwhile the average Social Security monthly check is less than $1800. The good news - and responders to the Reddit post provide it - is that homelessness can be prevented. I add that there can be a bounce-back to your own housing after a run of homelessness. Here's what you can do: Grab the work that's available. Forget your former career path. Don't even talk about it. Nostalgia for the good old days is an emotion you can't afford. In demand are personal care workers including for pets, healthcare, customer service, leasing agents, school bus drivers ...

Even sexual titillation has become less marketable - at least if it's featured as part of the ambiance in a restaurant. Hooters is filing for bankruptcy. Traffic has been down.  Overall, in America eating out has become a luxury that more and more choose not to indulge in. That includes fast food. Eighty percent classify swinging by for fries or a fish sandwich as no longer allowable on their budget. At McDonald's USA  sales are down.  Hooters is the tip of the iceberg in restaurants filing for bankruptcy. Last September BurgerFi also did such a filing. Red Lobster has emerged from its bankruptcy.  So, we have become a nation which eats at home and packs a lunch for when we're away from home. On hold is the treat of stopping at different restaurants when enjoying a day or weekend outing. At rest stops along the freeways I notice more and more folks at picnic tables unpacking a cooler of food and beverages.  This is one more sign that life, as we've known it,...

   A recent article in  Financial Times  about Paul Weiss essentially circles back to the once-popular meme about GM -  What is good for GM is good for the country.  (The source for that has been debated.) The FT coverage highlights how the law firm's aggressive push in the London market is enhancing the location's reputation for being key in the local, regional and global legal sector. So, what's good for Paul Weiss is good for London.  Well-known is that Paul Weiss hired star Neel Sachdev, conducted raids on Kirkland & Ellis talent and most recently hired Kai Zeng from Blantyre Capital. The goal is to operate a 200-lawyer office. Meanwhile, watchers of Paul Weiss ponder if the rapid building of its presence in the London market is good for Paul Weiss. Ever since chair Brad Karp recently reset the firm for intensified competition it's become a fave to monitor and then speculate about. Professional anonymous networks Reddit Big Law and Fishbowl Big...

  If you're in professional services - such as law, management consulting or public relations - you probably have to bring in new business. That can be a requirement even if you are a contract worker. The star rainmakers at large law firms such as Kirkland & Ellis and Paul Weiss can pull down $20 million annually. As a contractor to major public relations agencies I received hefty commissions for developing new accounts.  In this article published in O'Dwyer Public Relations I present what type of rainmaker is most effective and six strategies to up your own game.  As an intuitive career coach/tarot reader I uncover for you the opportunities/obstacles  that others miss.

 Exam time Waiting to hear if we're on the layoff list After we find out we're pregnant and before we tell our partner. All require comfort food. Such "weakness" is often condemned. The assumption is that we should be able to absorb life straight-on. But, hell, that beats turning to illegal drugs or excessive boozing. Well, those of us who operate on the elite tiers of comfort eating might have to shift down to maybe those $2.99 bags of white corn chips. A tragic development has been reported by Yahoo Finance . Mondelez CEO Dirk van de Put informs us that we: " ... will need to get used to chocolate that is 30% to 50% more expensive than it used to be 'because that's what we're going to see' due to a supply crisis in Africa. Mondelez manufactures Cadbury and Milk chocolates. What's projected by Mondelez is just the tip of the iceberg. All quality chocolate may be beyond our tightening budgets.  In intuitive career coaching I will have to guide...

  It's such a roaring cliche. But cliches survive because they embed so much raw reality. One time-worn platitude is: Adversity is a blessing.  That is on the money. It can be the platform for giant leaps forward in a career. Think about it: Adversity is frequently visiting in form of finding out that you're replaceable - "a dime a dozen." Gone is your job.  Such a blow can push your being into activating your survival gene. In this brutal labor market it can simulate what an ambition gene usually does. That is, the survival gene motivates you into figuring out what it takes to become a star and then doing all that. You become irreplaceable. In this Substack article I open the door to you to stardom. As an intuitive career coach/tarot reader I uncover for you the opportunities/obstacles   that others miss. Free confidential consultation.

 It's the obstacle to getting, holding and moving on to better work. That's age discrimination and it impacts both ends of the continuum we designate as the labor market. That is, young and old.  Posted on Reddit Jobs is the observation:  "If you’re young, people assume you’re inexperienced or don’t take you seriously. If you’re older, you’re suddenly not valued." Responses indicate that the situation has been getting worse. With the Trump Administration not supporting labor and having so much influence on the legal system the pursuit of justice through lawsuits has mutated into a decade-ago sexy fantasy.  As I hammer in this award-winning podcast , you have to escape the force field of all this reflection on age discrimination. Instead, get out of your head and hawk how you can get results for those hiring for full-time and contract assignments. You'll probably have to do that several times before someone buys.  Earning income from your labor - at any age - h...

The number of safe havens is small. They range from healthcare to parts of AI to personal services such as caring for the elderly, children and dogs.  Those are the exceptions.  The other sectors have made serial layoffs the norm. In a sense we have all become contract workers. We have this or that work for, say, 18 months and then we're again figuring out how to sing for our supper.  On Reddit Public Relations is this post, a sign of these times of no employment security, at least not in the traditional sense: "In early February, my agency let go 15 people and this is the second time we’ve undergone layoffs in under a year. Should I be concerned? Is this normal?" The 2025 version of employment security is to continue to beef up current skills and acquire new ones.   Interestingly, my intuitive career coaching clients who had been in the military tell me that youth is entering the services not to pick up a college degree. That's so last decade. The lure is to h...

That Social Security COLA was peanuts. And inflation is back, not rising as fast as it had been, but still a stunner, especially in the grocery aisles.  So, I found it predicable that  Motley Fool  reported that 50% of the aging surveyed are considering unretiring, that is, returning to work. Mostly part-time.  What was not predictable to me were the calls I'm receiving from those needing guidance on re-entering the labor market. They were excited. Sure, they anticipate it will be a learning curve since they're "rusty." But the very prospect of working again delivers a kind of liberation. Yes, retirement can be hell.   The reason for being so energized is that not-working can lower both the inner and the external vibrations in life. Everything becomes less vivid. Less urgent. Less of a connector with others. Of course, there's a lot to get down before the first application for work is sent. That ranges from creating a functional resume with appropriate key...

  What differentiates law firm Paul Weiss from other players in M&A practices? During the past decade it has moved into the 5th place in the Bloomberg Law League Tables. Last year it handled $261 billion in deals. That mean it pulled ahead of Cravath, Wachtell and Simpson.  Those watching Paul Weiss since Brad Karp became chair in 2008 cite factors such as acquiring Apollo as a client that year and in 2016 poaching the major brandname in M&A Scott Barshay. Of course, those developments have been important.  But, there's also something else. And in a Bloomberg Law interview Michelle Fivel fingers it. She is a partner in search firm Hatch Henderson Fivel: "[Paul Weiss is] not afraid of making big investments and big plays. It’s clearly paid off for them, as far as deal flow is concerned.” More recently some of those big plays include pricey poaching of stars from Kirkland & Ellis to create a presence in the London legal market. Paul Weiss is also experimenting ...

Want to make it big? The New York Time s features how author Janet Malcolm pulled that off by not being nice. That signals what a power source not being nice is.  Clearly, in a recent public appearance JP Morgan head Jamie Dimon wasn't nice about the firm's RTO mandate. He reinforced that with rough-edged rhetoric. Ditch the stereotypical branding of the statesman leader.   And the player previously known for his charm Paul Weiss chair Brad Karp wasn't nice about raiding competitor Kirkland & Ellis' star talent in London. The emerging persona is warrior. Of course, the current domestic "strong men," as well as the global ones, are not at all nice. The power of not being nice isn't new. For instance, in "The Power Game" journalist Hedrick Smith explains how things can get done by being an obstructionist, that is porcupine power. You make it your MO to stand in the way. The way to negotiate with that strategic positioning is direct. You ask t...

Human beings resist the learning curve. So, of course, nothing got imprinted in the collective memory bank from the collapse of Enron. That's despite the reality that the Smartest Guys in the room received quarter-century sentences.  Well, the Smartest Guys in the Room could be at it again. The 2025 version of complex fraud could be embedded in all those versions of AI. Contrary to what some thought leaders in the legal sector are jaw-jawing, white collar crime defense practices in elite law firms such as Jones Day and Paul Weiss could become the firms' major profit center. Part of that will be educating the ambitious about how much risk to take in AI without limiting profits. The buzz word is "guardrails." I discuss all this in my most recent post in Substack. In my intuitive career coaching I help clients not to become victims of this new generation of possible fraudsters. Essentially the lesson is the Warren Buffett fundamental of don't play around with what yo...

 Here's what's funny. I was making a lot less than the associates in Big Law when the executives would dump their revisions on me late into the evening. That was that. It was also that was that for all the other professionals in the Fortune 50. And here we are now with those making crazy money balking about what the power structure does to disrupt their attempt to have a life.  On Fishbowl Big Law  is this post: "Shout out to the piece of shit turning comments at 9pm on Valentine’s Day." Actually in a growing number of employment situations, especially entrepreneurial, those signing the checks demand our availability. There will probably never be a right to disconnect. If we're not responsive, there are plenty who will be. Complaining just reminds others how hard it is to earn a good living. It's so 20th century. Need to rant about that? Order online an AI companion. Do that and next Valentine's Day you might have a totally understanding partner when you h...

Part of how the US legal system functions happens in the court of public opinion. All those in the loop should know that and should do their best to get, hold and grow favorable coverage in legacy media, social media and on social networks.  The father's paid leave lawsuit "Savignac, et al. v Jones Day" might have made it all the way to trial (scheduled for November 2025) because the plaintiffs were brilliant about promoting their point of view. The married couple who had been SCOTUS clerks,  Marc Savignac and Julia Sheketoff, had been able to sustain attention for their beefs. Every court decision about the litigation had made headlines. Obviously the trial itself will be a major media event. Defendant Jones Day, not so effective in telling its story on this one, might be nervous. Former Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams was just doing his job in presenting to the public the details of the legal action against New York mayor Eric Adams. In addition, as any stra...

Minimalism is so in. On professional anonymous networks Blind, Fishbowl, Reddit and Glassdoor the postings are about multiple layoffs. If you're fortunate and land a good white collar job after being axed it might not be for long. Then you're out there looking again in this era of serial RIFs. So, more of my clients who have endured this employment insecurity are embracing a low-spend lifestyle. That's sometimes called "minimalism." Others just refer to is "frugal." Essentially it means living below your income. With the surplus funds left over after paying your bills you can invest. Boomers and Gen Xers who played it that way are feeling okay about the work situations. It may be hard to even land contract assignments. Jobs at their age? Forget it. But the nest eggs are holding up. They got the hope that they will not outlive their money. Today, so far, is a good one for the Dow. 44,527.17 USD ▲  +158.61 (+0.36%) today February 13, 11:12 AM EST  ·  Marke...

  The knock now put on Ukraine freedom fighter Volodymyr Zelensky is that "He's aged."  No matter how tough your job/mission or what year you were born in, you can't look older. Warren Buffett, although in his 90s, never seems to look older than the old his being settled into decades ago.  Despite their high-profile wins in the legal sector and the massive compensation equity partners at large law firms are mocked for "premature aging." Those at the top of the heap, go the observations on Reddit and Fishbowl, look 10 to 15 years older than their actual years. The warning is that if you stick around Kirkland & Ellis, Cravath, Skadden or Paul Weiss long enough you too will appear 70 at age 55. Already, young lawyers fret about the consequences of having no time to hit the gym.  The many critical of progressive Barack Obama when he was US president were quick to point out how quickly he was aging. Currently the bashing has shifted to mockery of his seeming ...

What we know is this: By the end of 2026 Big Oil's Chevron will cut between 15 to 20 percent of its workforce. That's to save between $2 billion and $3 billion. Those crunching the numbers, factoring in the 20% estimate,  project more than 9,000 will be terminated. Obviously, just like the massive layoffs in Big Law 2008 - 2009, that huge RIF puts out there in the labor market a glut of talent with similar skill sets. And just as with lawyer jobs back then, many will not be able to get comparable jobs in their industry - or any job practicing law at all.  I vividly recall coaching those who had to face reality and search for employment outside the legal sector. Since back then the laid-off were perceived as damaged goods, even when the recovery cranked up they weren't able to make it back in. Paul Weiss was among the few law firms which didn't ax young lawyers during that global downturn. The labor market situation could worsen significantly if other Big Law corporation...

Back in the days where there were English majors and many of us became professional writers the Jack Schlossberg antics would have been deconstructed with many literary references in high-brow publications. THE CLOWN PRINCE  Among the thought leadership articles would have been a comparison to William Shakespeare's  Prince Hal,  That was his nickname. He was really a Henry.  The focus would have been Hal's atypical strategies for gaining, holding and growing power. Incidentally, since 2008, the number of those majoring in that discipline has  declined more than 31% . So, the world might be missing out on a lot of deep perspectives honed from literary history.  The errant price who transformed into a much loved monarch is featured in  Henry IV,  Part I, Henry IV, Part 2, Henry V.  Essentially that royal from Shakespeare's history plays was wildly hedonistic. His brand was shaped by his friendship with the dissolute such as jester Sir Jo...

 In the film "A Bronx Tale" a young boy's horizons broaden when he doesn't rat out the local mafia boss to the police. The latter befriends Calogero Anello, opening up to him a world beyond that of his bus-driver father.  Anello's decision not to snitch is no surprise. Not being a tattle tale is imprinted on us as soon as we start to interact. At that very young age the consequences, ranging from gum in our hair to shunning, are so severe that it's difficult to shake them off.  Even those with authority find themselves confused about if to snitch or not to snitch. For instance, on Reddit Big Law a lawyer with supervisory duties posts about what steps to take with an insubordinate associate. From the get-go, of course, they could have gone directly to other supervisors in the loop and, yes, snitch. Yet that eventual course of action does require a nudge. One comment is: " ... I'd warn them of that and then be a little tattle tale" In a large la...

During the heyday of Freudianism in America, it was like The New Yorker cartoon type of funny: Everyone had been putting everyone else on the couch. That is, the therapist couch.  There were deep dives into the psychological root causes of what was obstructing their work, relationships and especially their sex lives. The assumption was that getting to the bottom of things (ID, Ego, SuperEgo) would cure self-defeating behavior. In its place would be run-of-the-mill unhappiness. Sigmund Freud never promised a rose garden.  After that blind faith in such psychological probing peaked and finally soured, such robust analysis was labeled "psychobabble." Those still stuck in doing that elicited mockery, along with an eye-roll. In addition, the era of litigation was emerging. The content of your psychobabble could constitute defamation.  Well, old-fashioned psychobabble has returned and is making headlines. OpenAI's Sam Altman , who to our knowledge isn't a licensed therapist...

  Lawyers in brandname law firms, just like employees in Big Tech, had inspired awe. Their achievements were featured in pop culture, ranging from television (remember that medium?) to film. That was then. Now, as with the experts in technology (with the exception of those in generative AI), lawyer glam is gone. Part of that trend will be the slowdown of lawyers' build-up of wealth. Back in Q4 of 2024, reports Reuters , profits grew 11.5%. But that might be the last of the good times rolling, at least for a while. Financial performance can shift back to normal and normal dims the star power. Among the headwinds is the slowdown in the growth of demand. No longer as robust is business in the practices of litigation and bankruptcy. Recently productivity has been off. Expenses, especially for manpower and technology, are eating into profits. And, there are also the impacts of tariffs.  Meanwhile, there are a lot of mouths to feed in large law firms. Hiring of new associates was br...

 The way to stardom, along with wealth, power and influence, in America is: Break the rules. The classic example is business tycoon turned politico Elon Musk.  However, do that wrong and you can be and will be crushed. My article today in O'Dwyer Public Relations presents the rewards and risks, along with a how-to, for rule-breaking.  As an intuitive career coach/tarot reader I uncover the opportunities/obstacles in your earning power that others miss.
