Did You Know This? 👍Before I tell you more, if you are interested in employment litigation, LIKE this post so I can learn what topics you want to hear about. ⚖️One of the types of litigation clients my law firm helps are: ➡️Defendants in a lawsuit ➡️They are an executive or higher-up employee ➡️The plaintiff is their former employer ➡️They have been accused of stealing confidential information, taking clients, or competing with their former employer in some way. ⚖️Employers are much more likely to sue employees than they used to be. ➡️Employers will file a lawsuit with minimal facts, and will use the lawsuit as a bargaining chip or an intimidation factor to try to force the former employee to not go after their customers, or to try to avoid paying severance to the employee. ⚖️Many times, but not always, the employee has less financial resources than the employer, which means they need to hire litigation counsel that is precise, resourceful, and strategic - and won't churn their file. ➡️Usually, the employer is trying to get access to the former employee's personal cell phone, or has already accessed it, sometimes in a high-pressure, sneaky way. By having access to the employee's text messages and emails, the employer is able to fish around for incriminating evidence. ➡️My firm loves helping employees and executives in these kinds of cases, and also represents employers too. We cover cases mostly in these courts, but also cover cases throughout the DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia area: ⚖️Fairfax County Circuit Court ⚖️Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division ⚖️Arlington County Circuit Court 📞If you know someone in this situation, or if this is you, please don't hesitate to reach out to me - we can help or get you a referral for an employment lawyer. I will place links to my contact form in the comments, along with a signup form for my monthly Lipp Law E-Newsletter. ⭐Photo of my amazing Lipp Law team below, taken by the talented Jamie Sutera. #lipplaw #employmentlaw #virginialawyer #dclawyer #virginialawfirm #litigation

With the end of the year approaching, I'd like to provide a brief recap on when and where New England attorneys moved in 2023. A total of 1,101 attorneys at all levels in New England transitioned to a new job (220 partners, 156 counsel, 667 associates, 58 other). From the chart below, you can see that the most movement occurred in March and September with the slowest months being in January and December. The slight variance each month shows that legal employers were consistently hiring throughout the year. So, where did these attorneys move? ◾ 840 attorneys jumped to another law firm (76.3%) ◾ 169 moved in-house or lateraled to another in-house position (15.3%) ◾ 42 moved to a judicial position (3.8%) ◾ 32 moved to a government position (2.9%) ◾ 13 moved to a non-attorney position (1.2%) ◾ 5 moved to "other" (0.5%) My team and I were honored to help make many of these moves happen. If you're an attorney interested in exploring the lateral hiring market or an employer looking to recruit top legal talent, reach out to me at [email protected] or at 857-229-0649 to schedule a meeting. #lateralhiring #marketknowledge #legal #attorneys #lawyers #NewEngland Team: Tiffany Ambrose, Esq.

As an alum, I think the best thing about the Honors Program is that it’s not just a great opportunity to become a government lawyer, it’s a Master’s degree in learning how to get things done. You certainly master the minutiae of how government runs, vital to my current role. But indispensable to my work now is what I took from the cross-disciplinary aspect of the program. It teaches how to quickly pick up the nuance of any complex industry, how to advise many different kinds of leaders in making critical decisions, and how to manage the several tiny adjustments to the machinery of big organizations that ensure effective change happens. If you know a change-oriented law student, clerk, or fellow, please share the link below.

Law Firms: looking for a talented litigation associate? It's a rhetorical question. Every law firm in the US (and beyond) that has a litigation practice is looking for the same talent. Every. Single. One. Makes for a hyper-competitive job market. No surprises here, considering the war for talent that continues to challenge the world of private practice. So what's a firm to do? Impose 100 hour work weeks? Turn away clients? Shut down?? 😱 It's time to think out of the box. Everyone is calling recruiters with the same need. LinkedIn and Indeed are chock full of similar positions. While these methods may still work some of the time, the firms that are serious about building their bench have to adopt a different tack when it comes to their recruiting efforts. We've helped law firms all over the country develop strategies for smarter associate and lateral recruiting (and retention). If you're ready to win the battle, let's talk. #law #lawyers #lawfirms #legaljobs #hr #lawfirm
