Totally random but what kind of law do you practice? I always wondered and figured I'd ask. :) My Dh does Health/CON law. Meaning he hangs out with hospital admin a lot.

Re: NeptoonGrl

  • I practice in the area of commercial real estate.  I'd say about 50% of what I do is purchase and sale of various kinds--office, industrial, and retail buildings are the biggies.  I've done some random ones over the years a campgrounds and coal mine were my favorite.  The firm I started at out of law school did a lot of hotel work too, but in the past few years that kind of work has been slow.  About 40% is financing work, representing either the lender or borrower both for acquisition financing or refinances.  Over the past few years, I've also done a lot of distressed debt work, restructuring loans, selling/buying  loans, etc.  The other 10% is leasing, development, and miscellaneous.

    I'm really fortunate because I love my job, and I know a lot of lawyers who don't.  It can definitely be time consuming and stressful, but at the end of the day, I wouldn't change it.

    Lol, re your DH and how you describe what he does.  If B had to describe what I do, I think he would say something quite similar only relating to real estate.  Has he had any luck finding a new job?  I remember you saying he was looking.

  • He has had a few leads but is still trying to figure out exactly where he wants to be. He has been working on a hospital merger for the past year and it is still going on. He doesn't want to leave where he is at until that is finished.
