[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: I just learned one additional wrinkle. My firm has a policy that employees are required to repay paid leave if they resign within six months of the leave ending. Ugh.

Should I call my employment lawyer friends and find out if that is even enforceable?

[b]Of course, there is always a glimmer of hope the firm would waive this because they want to maintain a good relationship with someone who will be prosecuting their clients. ([/b]I have heard rumors of the firm waiving other policies to suck-up to people departing to work in house). Then again, I should probably not assume that. Sigh.[/quote]

Uh, that's a major conflict of interest and for a fed to even hint at that is unethical. [/quote]

Please. OP is probably not going to literally prosecute people her old firm represents for some period of time for conflict reasons. But usually firms do want to keep good relationships with former employees for lots of reasons. This is even called an “alumni program” at firms. AUSAs become judges and general counsel or just other attorneys the law firm wants to have a relationship with.[/quote]
