Answering Uncomfortable Questions With My Girlfriend - Q & A

[@aagusFTS]

28:40 Agus here, first of all don’t worry about the misread, I’m Spanish and it’s pretty normal for foreigners, you were one of the closest ones actually. Thanks for including my question, we were all wondering. Of course it had to be one that combines 5, maybe I should ask which of those 5 in the next Q&A 😅

As a lawyer in BigLaw, I'd be terrified to share these details with KZbin. Brave is what you are, Liam.

[@frenchfriez1027]

Why ? Do you think it could affect his career? (I genuinely don’t get it)

[@tempest9172]

@@frenchfriez1027 I am speaking from a US/BigLaw perspective. In my experience or maybe my firm, it's a little too personal to share some of these details on YT without having a colleague bring it up in the workplace. Your colleagues aren't your friends so, yeah well.

Really enjoying your content, and it’s even better with Beth …. PS getting a backpack for my daughter for Christmas, so one of the bags will be “at Uni in NZ”

Girlfriend has him under her thumb and he won't like this when they're married. Divorce

Great video. I'm a bit late to the party watching, but I stumbled across your account a while back but am now a loyal subscriber and really love your content. I have gone back and watched so many of your videos. You're inspirational. Beth is lovely too.

As a woman I just wonder how on earth you could work in corporate law and have a family…does it get easier to manage your working hours as you climb the ladder?

[@dominiclondesborough3222]

From my brief time in a top ten solicitors firm in London, I know that quite a few partners were divorced, others worked insane hours (one had a sleeping bag in the office), while others delegated vast amounts of work to associate solicitors.

[@mikeelliott886]

@@dominiclondesborough3222 tbf partners should be delegating vast amounts of work. Their job is to bring work in and supervise, not do the grunt work.

[@alinawelser8338]

Why are you writing as a women? That sounds rather antifeminist, connecting here actively women and family. Would you have also written: as a man I just wonder how on earth could you combine corporate law and family. I don’t believe so. It seems a little bit that you have outdated role pictures in your mind. Or maybe I am wrong, but it seems for a little bit like that.

[@dominiclondesborough3222]

@@mikeelliott886 You're absolutely right, Mark, that partners should delegate and supervise. However, part of competent delegation is to optimise the level of workload allocated to each associate (based on their current workload and experience), to ensure that it's humanly sustainable and doesn't lead to burnout/nervous breakdowns/errors made under time-pressure. Not sure about the phrase "grunt work" but I know what you mean.

[@Fermerswife]

@@alinawelser8338 of course women and family are connected. Perhaps my word Choice was poor but as a mother myself a career path in corporate law would seem extremely difficult. I think it is tough for mothers (& fathers) to strike a balance between career and family and the lifestyle explained in this video must magnify that. Outdated or not that is the reality of being a mother, you have other priorities to balance…as would a father of course. My question is really as you move up the career ladder would that balance be easier to strike because it doesn’t sound like it in the junior grades.

Very engaging video... Didn't realise 30 mins done...Good work... 😀

[@sarahprice4758]

Part-time evening law student in the U.S. here. I find the Barrister's lone existence you mentioned rather interesting. In the U.S., civil trial attorneys operate within an entire team. It's not uncommon to have up to 10+ attorneys/paralegals work on a large civil matter in the years leading up to the trial--as a result of the stakes (and stress) being extremely high, a sense of camaraderie blooms. I wish we had an trainee/apprenticeship system in place here in the U.S., but perhaps one day. (I, too, am interested in antitrust law, although more on the litigation side.) P.S. Beth is absolutely lovely; I love her accent.

[@hucklebucklin]

Yeah but trial attorneys aren't really that different from solicitors who work in teams... the lawyers can just do the office work AND the law talking. There are just no silly wig wearing, cloak donning middleman hahhaha. Though in the uk barristers can work in "chambers" which are a team, where I come from, Ireland, barristers are all self employed and work solo!

[@olivier3516]

Thank you for answering my question on uni !!

[@hondaleigh]

Amazing stuff you two. Well done 😁

[@torresstr8]

Which team did you qualify into? (ie. what area of law have you specialised in?)

Hi

[@musikhamster01]

The really important question is: When will you get a dog? Screw marriage, that's way more important!

[@ivanov568]

He should start getting ready for the wedding. If he thinks he will meet a better woman the answer is likely not (speaking as a guy in his 30's who studied finance at Uni with some regrets in my personal life). If he thinks his family/personal life will automatically plan itself he is wrong too. If he think's his sperm and testosterone will be strong forever he is wrong too (decreases by 1% in your 30's). The girl needs to put a time limit for him to propose ( I told the same thing to my sister) and the guy needs to create contracts on the side as a gig (for instance entrepreneurs would love to have a discount on a private placement memorandums)
