[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"When you are in a meeting [any meeting], you are not to speak unless asked a direct question. Then you can answer that question only. Nothing more." Ooooookay. [/quote] When I was an associate a D.C. BigLaw I was told by a partner, "associates should been seen, not heard. Clients know you have nothing useful to contribute and I think associates at (FirmName) are given too much encouragement and coddling."[/quote] Speaking as a former Biglaw associate, it's kind of true. I did not need to be told that the rule was seen and not heard. Unless you're very senior or are sent to handle the client by yourself, clients are not there to speak with you. You are there to take notes, do the research and grunt work, and make the partner look good. [/quote]
