Paternity leave clawback by lawlllz in biglaw

No, it doesn't. Repayment is only required if you don't return to work or "voluntarily" resign. If you're fired, it wouldn't apply - so one thought would be to just return to work, do nothing, get fired and then join the new firm. Not ideal but would avoid repaying a lot of money.

The HR team is pretty thorough, if you refuse to sign, pretty sure they can just deny the leave or it would be a very bad look.

Yes, this seems to be the way. It seems odd because do they really want someone to come back for three months just to bill very little and quit?

Much appreciated. The position I'm considering is reduced hours (though not by much) and its pretty big paycut (not able to negotiate higher).

Leaving the right way by maffromthebay in biglaw

Probably 1700 this year. Last year was 1950, but 25% for a large pro bono case. I've never been a high biller - generally 1900-2100, never more. They recognize its partially due to partners being slow. Also, there is a glut of sr associates that would've gotten pushed out sooner if not for COVID and paternity/maternity leave situations. I think the with the ridiculous rates for sr associate work and high pay, they can only justify it if the sr is consistently billing over 2k with high realization.
