Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
This blazer from L’Agence is kind of a big swing, but I think it would be gorgeous for a person with a very specific type of job. Early in my career, I crossed paths frequently with lawyers who represented Christie’s and Sotheby’s, and I could see several of them wearing this exact jacket with perfectly tailored trousers and quietly luxurious flats that cost more than my mortgage.
If this is your vibe, snatch this up while you can.
The jacket is $875 at L’Agence and comes in sizes XXS-XXL.

I’d wear this to my regular old corporate lawyer job without thinking twice about it, though am unwilling to spend $875 on a piece that I could really only wear a few times per year.
Yes, I would wear this in a minute if the color scheme suited me! Although I am also unwilling to spend this much on something I could only wear occasionally.
What accounting and document management software does your firm use? I work at a small mid-sized firm (approximately 30 attorneys), and we are looking to upgrade. We currently have a custom-built open text document management system and use Omega (an older software owned by Aderant) as our billing and accounting software. But, it’s getting old and having issues. Our largest practice areas are transactional (estate planning, estates, business, real estate), medical malpractice defense and civil litigation. Our medical malpractice team has used Aderant for several years, but it has never worked properly for us and the search functions in the document management system are not robust enough.
All firms that I or my peers worked about used either NetDocs or iManage for document management.
