Giving Notice at Firm
Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2020 12:42 pm
I lined up at in-house job, but will not leave my current firm for another 3-4 weeks.
There's one counsel I do a lot of work for that I'd like to tell earlier than when I give my two weeks' notice, because we're close, she'll need more time to work out the transition of work from me to others (given the volume), and there's even a chance she could help with my significant other's transition to the new city and help them find a job.
I trust this counsel's discretion generally, but is there any reason this would be a bad idea? Telling a non-partner's not equivalent to giving notice, right - and is there any reason the counsel would be obligated to report this to anyone?
Maybe I'm a little paranoid but any advice is helpful. Thank you.
