[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is absolute zero chance that any biglaw firm is paying a staff attorney overtime. Lawyers are exempt from the overtime (and minimum wage) requirements of the FLSA. Temps have tried to challenge this on the ground that they aren't practicing law, I think with mixed results, but I think a staff attorney is pretty clearly practicing law (I think they do research and take more responsibility over discovery than coding monkeys). My firm has SA's and I think they do what you'd expect - discovery and some research. I don't think being put on the associate-partner track is realistic. [/quote] DH was a staff attorney at a biglaw firm. He was paid overtime. [/quote] Where? I'm a staff attorney at a biglaw firm and we most definitely do not get paid overtime. Starting salary is $100,000 but increases are few and far between. [/quote] And where did he go after being a staff attorney? firm? govt? [/quote]
