Perhaps it was a consequence of not wearing one?

NOT ASKING FOR LEGAL ADVICE

If you happen to have delivered a few internet bitchslaps to someone before and after they offered to date you (but not screw you) then is it legal and/or morally responsible for them, and their alt accounts, to mercilessly downvote your every post?

Also, how long before you should engage in a meme war with them.

Asking for a friend.

Recently, I was reviewing a contract from a relatively large entity (200m+ annual turnover).

I raised a few inconsistencies which were glaring. In fact, it appeared the clauses were remnants of an earlier agreement and had a substantially different effect than originally intended.

I started negotiation and the entity instantly agreed noting:

1. The clauses were entirely wrong
2. The template had been used for 3+ years
3. I was the first to point it out
4. It had been reviewed by other lawyers including from a mid-sized firm, who did not point it out.

So, my query is, do any of you fuckers actually read?

So, are business cards still relevant. Saw a linkedin post suggesting that they arent, and your email signature is enough.

I may be old, but I think they are still relevant and its not just my Patrick Bateman side saying that.

Oohhhh, bone paper set in silian rail. If it has a watermark, I'm definitely calling.....

EDIT: Part of this is an honest question so stop downvoting me.

So anyway, life has been tough in-house with the rona. Many of us arent getting the file quality we used to, and the business has required many of us to go to four days a week, substantially reducing incomes.

So, I've run a little sideline business to help ends meet as a transvestite dominatrix. I have a bunch of skills in the area developed over many years.

Business has been great and Ive been promoting through snapchat and insta pretty heavily. Ive had great turnover and developed a loyal client base.

Just before Christmas, I had a pair of real estate agents take up my services. Ordinarily, couples and groups are no probs and I can always get them there in the end. The difficulty in t

A lawyer and a doctor are at a party, chatting.

A patient of the doctor comes up and complains about his sore elbow. The doctor gives him some advice and sends him on his way.

The doctor turns to his lawyer friend and says, 'People do that all the time. How do I deal with them?'

The lawyer turns to the doctor and says, 'Id recommend sending them a bill, they wont bug you again later'.

The next morning the doctor, on the back of the lawyers advice, put together a $50 invoice and sent it off to the intervening patient.

The doctor was quite happy with how this turned out.

That is, until the next day when the lawyers $100 invoice arrived.

And I just got back to work.....

Its that time of year. The christmas party's have started. I have long been out of private practice, and my poor government employer can barely let us out for an hour to have half defrosted party pies and a popper of apple juice without breaking the budget. I presume you private practitioners are having great parties (and the barristers are about to nip off to Cortina d'Amprezzo for january). But my question goes to ettiquette. Over here, it simply consisted of one of my sisters being outed by an idiot director. I remember in private that we had a tradition of taking a dump on the managing partners desk after imbibing enough free booze to set it on fire (quite the holiday spectacle). Does th

Ive been working 14 years straight as a solicitor and I think I need a break, though I dont know. Can I just do some monotinous contract management or something, for a year or two, then come back? I love being a solicitor and want to do it into old age, but I worry that I havent stepped back for all that busy time and its hard to judge whether Im happy when Im in the middle of it.

Has anyone done this? Was it hard or easy, pros and cons.

We are all aware of the flood of posts following admission ceremonies. As we all know, that is only an achievement if you managed to hide substantial criminal convictions from the Court. Now, however, LinkedIn is showing me law students posting their results. I do not care if noname from tier 2 university got a 6 for Evidence. I give no shits for this. Yet, the LinkedIn algo wont change despite me downvoting each of these little twerps. LinkedIn should return to its usual feed of motivational quips from nohoper sole practitioners and rampant begging for attention by junior partners.
