Counsel On Call Reviews

Pros

Higher compensation. More seasoned Attorneys. Collegial attmosphere.

Cons

Only experienced one exception to the above.

Pros

Flexibility is the biggest advantage. COC also pays better for document review than similar firms, and I understand COC attorneys are more accurate reviewers.

Cons

Due to nature of contract work, you are essentially treated like a booty call-very little to no notice that projects are starting or ending, and everything is on their terms with no room for negotiation. No room to advance. Too few substantive projects--just a doc review factory at this point.

Pros

If you're new to an area with no contacts and need income, a good way to get in the door

Cons

As a contract attorney, it feels like you're a second class attorney
