An open letter to my client
I'm inhouse. You are paying me for my legal services regardless of whether or not I do any work. I'm not going to bill you for a phone call. I'm not going to bill you if you talk to me on the elevator. I'm not going to bill you if you make me do 30 hours of legal research on something trivial.
Yes, I know that I will, from time to time, tell you that you can't do something that you really, really, really, really want to do. I will, however, help you figure out how to do something similar that you can do. Trust me, it is abundantly clear that I know more about these things that you do. And it's a hell of a bigger pain in your ass when I come in after the fact than the ten minute "how can we do this?" phone call would have been.
