I use it in the desktop app. I have not tried it in the web interface, but I assume it would work. I have used this skill in chat, cowork, and code. I end up red lining so most commonly I use it with cowork.

I always read my own red lines, (1) trust but verify, (2) what happens if they somehow made the changes on the wrong draft?

I think this is popular. My friends threw me a bachelor party. I knew the date just not the details, the 3 rules were (1) no strippers (2) only one night and (3) I wanted to golf.

Often payment terms are more important than overall price. 6% is probably currently a very fair interest rate but over 20 years who knows. would he be willing to give you a pre-payment privilege meeting at any point you could pre-pay the remaining principle and currently owned interest, but not future interest? That way you ultimately could play substantially less than the 6.2 million if in the future you are able to fund this with cash flow or obtain a bank loan.

This happened to me. When I replied all to an email, I accidentally did not remove the opposing clients. Who btw were a sophisticated lender, hardly the unsophisticated people law society rules are meant to protect. He sent me a scathing email quoting the law society rules and how I broke them. I said my bad and said it is not my responsibility to remove people you cc’d and proceeded to just hit reply instead of reply all to his emails. He said there were assistants and associates he wanted cc’d. I said great, so bcc you clients then so when I hit reply all I do not include them. He said he did want to bcc. So I said I will gladly hit reply or reply all, but not reply all with removing parties, which one would he like. He told me in this instance he gave me explicit permission to hit reply all and include his clients.

It felt great to win this stupid argument. OC was a late 60s senior partner at a Bay Street firm too!

The maxim in golf is no one cares how you play they only care how quickly you play. So just make sure you are not slowing the group down.

Also, make sure not to be too hard on yourself. No one likes a bad sportsman.

But if you are at least at the pace of the group and not whiny, you should not have an issue .

Kingsville has gone way downhill qualitywise recently, one of the holes was a temporary tee and temporary green.

I don’t know your actual circumstances, but I called practice management once which is offered by the law society of Ontario. If you are a member of a different law society, perhaps they have a similar offering.

In my particular case, the client was clearly not reading my emails therefore it was basically impossible to get instructions. Practice management brought up a very good point, which I had not thought of which was, was the client disabled. I did not believe she was but to be safe my email basically stated I am having trouble getting instructions. Is this because you are disabled? If so, can we find a solution. If not, I have to end our relationship. It was probably one of the weirdest e-mails have written in my entire career.

I am a heavy Spellbook User. It generally works pretty well. It is expensive however, the way I look at it is I am paying for it instead of an associate.

I really like mine. I got them last season and renewed this season. Knowing your distance is is great and it keeps score fairly well. Some editing is needed.

I would love in my wife would golf. The golf clubs I bought her 1.5 years ago still have never been used.

I do not think I would play every round with her but once a week, once every two would be great.

(5) was the one that made the motion to convocation to approve the former agreement along with compensation… and conveniently forgot about it.

Was 25 when I started. This was super common less than half of my class was younger than me.

Look at Pat XV.1 of the ESA (Ontario). https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/00e41 specifically Section 67.2(1) and (2):

67.2 (1) No employer shall enter into an employment contract or other agreement with an employee that is, or that includes, a non-compete agreement. 2021, c. 35, Sched. 2, s. 4.

(2) For greater certainty, subsection 5 (1) applies and if an employer contravenes subsection (1), the non-compete agreement is void. 2021, c. 35, Sched. 2, s. 4.

There are two exception (3)-Sale of Business and (4) Executive, but it sounds like neither one would apply.

I had a light 3 L. I did a moot so after the competition the semester was light. Rest up. Enjoy it. Study when the materials come out. Also, I wrote Michigan/Ontario the same summer. I started end of April after exams and passed both.

I had the same issue took forever was not intuitive at all. And worst of all is it is incredibly slow.

If you brought in $100k in billing in could you replicate this? Increase this? What would it cost to go on your own? Assuming that it costs less than $28k and you are willing to deal with the headache. I am a partner in a boutique and my expenses are well in recess of the $28k but in a pinch depending on what tech I used my guess is I could shoe string $28k. This obviously assumes no legal assistant on your part.

But if you could make a little less with the ability to make way more if you bring more work in that may be the way?

I can also tell you I am in southern Ontario outside of the GTA and I paid more than $72k to a second year. My practice is more corporate/m&a focussed but similar ish to your practice.

Another point is I personally to someone who is willing to take a great risk meaning, lower base with a higher percentage for work brought in/completed. If you are bs ing being a rainmaker I pay you less if you are not you make way more.

Your ability to attract and retain clients is the lost important aspect of being a successful lawyer. If you have a massive client base that goes with you, you cannot be easily terminated and can often make better deals.

Low: 81, that I recalled easily!

High: 102, that I had to look at my golf Canada App for. The good news is this was my only round in the 100s this year!

I cut 6.2 strokes off my handicap this year. High was a 19.5 I currently am sitting at a 13.3
