[quote=Anonymous]I have a related question and would love some advice from folks who have been there. I am a mid-level associate at a law firm - not a partner - but I have several of my own clients (who I brought in entirely on my own) and I am trying to figure out what if anything I should say to them regarding my upcoming maternity leave. I am the only associate in my office so there is no one to take over and quite frankly I wouldn't want anyone else to take over because I don't want to lose the client! To that end, I plan on working to the extent I am able while on leave.

So for partners and/or folks with your own clients where you couldn't just take off for the time you were on leave, what did you tell your clients so they understand you may not be as immediately available while on leave but that you still wanted them to contact you while you were out? Nothing at all? Something like "Just so you know, I am expecting a baby on xxx, but I have childcare help while on leave and plan on being available so please don't hesitate to contact me at any time and either I or someone in my office will help you out?" Any advice would be wonderful, thank you. [/quote]
