[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on the firm, but usually they focus on e-discovery.  Sometimes they just do document coding, but often they manage contract attorney reviews, prepare priv logs, do custodian interviews, and draft summaries of documents.  It’s not a great job if the biglaw associate/partner track is open to you, but if it’s not, then being a staff attorney can be a decent outcome.  A lot of them earn six figures, sometimes close to $200k depending on how useful they are, and the work is relatively easy.[/quote]

The pay is fine but to be frank you will be disrespected and viewed as "beneath" associates even though you are older.[/quote]

Some people don't care. [/quote]

Raising my hand! I was a staff attorney and worked 20-30 hours per week, which was ideal with young kids, one with some special needs. [/quote]

I would - no joke - be more interested in the Staff Attorney position than being an associate and having my time owned by the partners, even if that meant a 120k salary instead of 250k+++.[/quote]
