“does “litigation” do you take that to mean general stuff like all pre-trial things (complaints, motions, discovery, etc.) or actual trials or both?”

Snapple, I concur with our partners, Jackal and Slopey. At first blush, I would take that to mean a small firm GP who does everything from complaint through trial. It’s also not the most artful way to say it which also makes me think Court Street / Solo / PI lawyer. A large firm lawyer is more likely to say, “I’m a litigator”, not “I do litigation”. But, as Slopey said, it could also be someone trying to cover all bases.

I hope that works out, jester.

Rather depends on who’s skirt you’re hiding under, does it not?

My supposedly wind-proof umbrella has two broken tines to it. I have the reset them when I go outside.

I just got asked to co-chair a committee that I’ve always considered a feeder for a certain job at my firm I’ve always thought would be fun to have.
