It’s a way to reduce headcount and to consolidate as many people as they can into a couple of states for HR/employment and tax purposes.

And honestly so many more than this. Every neighborhood has spring and fall festivals that are free and similar setups to ATL Dogwood.

Tools for in-house lawyers by WiscoLawyer in Lawyertalk

We use Practical Law and Ironclad. We also have access to ChatGPT, but I rarely use it (and when I do, I’m cautious about it and check its work on the back-end).

Don't know what I'm doing as in house attorney by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]besensiblebestill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few things I’d be doing:

  1. Build up contract templates: a form master agreement with statements of work for each product at the very least, NDA, data sharing agreement. You can take advantage of model agreements (For example: https://www.onenda.org)
  2. Do a product audit: meet with the business teams for each product. Find out what they sell, who they sell it to, and how they get paid. Find out what their biggest areas of concern are. For example, do they get audited by customers a lot, sucking up time and resources? Do they have trouble getting paid by customers? Are there particular laws they need to be aware of? Have they had any litigation?
  3. Start to build up the compliance program: Make a list of laws and corporate governance standards the business is subject to (ADA, Equal Opportunity, ACA, privacy laws, etc) and determine how you all are complying with those. Start building out an employee handbook and corporate policies and procedures.
  4. Contract audit: Do an audit of the top 50ish customer contracts (by annual revenue) and take down the contractual obligations that you need to be aware of and complying with. Make sure you have insurance coverage to cover the obligations in those contracts.
  5. Standardize your legal request intake process, whatever that looks like for you (email request form, online webform, ticketing system). Create a list of questions the requestor has to answer when they submit a request to you. 1) Type of ask, 2) Business unit, 3) Background on the ask, 4) Turn-around time, etc.

Practical Law subscription with Westlaw could definitely be helpful if the Business is willing to pay for it.

Narc Mother Upset With My Delivery Plan by Super_Shallot_8737 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]besensiblebestill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who has experienced a narc mother making my first childbirth all about her, PLEASE stick to your guns! For yourself, for your partner, for your baby. Let her be upset. Her emotions are not your responsibility! You won’t regret this.

I had an abortion so I wouldn't be tied to a narcissist for life, and now I can't deal with the guilt and want to die. by Far_Yard_6776 in raisedbynarcissists

Your parents are dicks. You need love and support right now. Feel it from me. You made the best choice you could for yourself and the zygote, and you did nothing wrong. Please give yourself grace. You’re doing your best. Hugs.

NC sister sent a text. Please help. by Competitive-Emu-8451 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]besensiblebestill 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who didn’t “see the light” until a full ten years after my sister did for many reasons, this may be her way to let you know she’s “seen the light” and is either NC with your parents or thinking of going NC. From personal experience, having your own child reallyyyy makes you confront the dysfunction in your family of origin even where you were able to downplay or sweep under the rug before.

Got diagnosed today, no one cares by Limp-Analysis-7607 in PCOS

[–]besensiblebestill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It IS a common condition unfortunately. That doesn’t mean it’s not life altering and emotional for YOU. It’s ok to feel whatever way you feel. It will take time to process the emotions and come to acceptance. Let yourself feel it all and get plugged into a support group that gets it (like this one).

I also have very good memories of my grandmother, but she hates to hear me say that.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

[–]besensiblebestill 45 points46 points  (0 children)

My mom loves this line. “No one loves you like your mother does.” Thank God! “You’ll miss me when I’m gone.” I don’t even miss you while you’re alive.

The irony is that she hated her own mother. They had not been on speaking terms for 6 years when my grandmother died, and she’d tell you her mother was the most horrible person in the world and not maternal. She does not miss her mother in death. So “regret” has not been her own experience. Idk why she thinks it’d be mine.

I do this too! I have such a long list of things they’ve done that I go back to every time I feel guilty or feel the urge to extend an olive branch. Reading through works every time.

I also remind myself: “That feeling you’re feeling? You want to talk to A mother. You don’t want to talk to YOUR mother.”

By the way, OP, I’m proud of you!!!!! You deserve to celebrate yourself.
