Lawyering is sometimes doing a 9:30pm home workout while you sort through everything the spam filter has caught in the last few weeks on your phone between sets. I know, it’s nowhere near as cool as Suits. Really, this is often the reality; it’s not a super glamorous job. 😂👩🏼‍💻

If you’re a lawyer with more than a couple of years under your belt, don’t be rude to new calls and junior lawyers in your emails. It just makes you look like a shitty person, and it’s certainly not going to help advance your client’s case. That is all.

…..incredibly bad. 😂😂

What @aircanada.bsky.social needs to realize is that almost no one who is facing a cancelled vacation or return flight this month (myself included) is going to blame the flight attendants for wanting to be paid fairly.

Honoured to share that I still really love ketchup chips.

My team knows I love a good list and a nice chart. They're all professionals after my own lawyer heart.

It turns out that if you spend enough time around your friends, you’ll start calling everyone “girl” in casual conversations, including the lawyers that you work with. 😂 (Did I drop an, “Oh, girl, I don’t want to know” with someone who was a bit confused by it? Yes. 😂)

Random reminder that Luceo Legal has a slightly different model of taking on both direct client files and offering freelance work to support other law firms. Summer vacation coming? Associate on leave? Just need a nap? Drop me a line.

I have some exciting news coming next week that I just can't wait to share! Watch for more details, coming soon....

I know that I've made it now, because the gift card email scammers are impersonating me to my team members. 😂

Also, PSA: If someone emails you to buy gift cards, check the email address and call your boss to confirm if it's legit. (Spoiler Alert: It's not.)

Breanna Needham @breannaneedham.bsky.social · Jun 26

Good point. Also unfortunately true.

I really hate that I have to keep saying this, but: Fraud is on the rise. Do not give money to people you don’t know, haven’t verified, or for agreements that a lawyer hasn’t reviewed. The number of scams I’ve heard of in consults recently would take too many posts to list out.

Who needs an alarm clock when you have a cat who thinks the computer mouse should be forcefully flung from the desk first thing in the morning. 🐈‍⬛

Feel better soon!

It's great if you believe that "love is love." Rainbows & sparkles for #Pride during the month of June is a good start. Don't forget that your support for the dignity & human rights of members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community is needed during the remaining 335 days of the year, too.

I have determined that the sriracha packets from Starbucks taste slightly sweeter than regular sriracha, and I’m here for it.

Breanna Needham @breannaneedham.bsky.social · Jun 15

Having a friend group that consists of other lawyers means the cat gets labelled as an unreliable source and “easily impeachable witness” for his conduct.

Breanna Needham @breannaneedham.bsky.social · Jun 12

Never forget the people who have your back.

Breanna Needham @breannaneedham.bsky.social · Jun 12

No, you can't say hateful things and call me, my colleagues, and feminist views on equality "disgusting" in 2019, but then expect that I'll be happy to chat with you in 2025. In case there was any confusion, that's not how this works.

Me: I’m going to never work big law hours in a month again.

Also me: Does injunctions. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I was very sad to learn yesterday of the sudden passing of a former colleague from an unexpected health issue. She was very kind and brought a lot of joy to a lot of people. She was also very young (younger than me). Life is so unfortunately and unfairly short sometimes.

I just booked firm photos for team members (including a new hire!). Running my own firm now feels even more real. It's wild how much the practice has grown since I opened @LuceoLegal last year. I've had such a great time so far, and I can't wait to see what's next.✨

Mine both think my lap is the filing system. I clearly need to upgrade them to something like this.

Breanna Needham @breannaneedham.bsky.social · Jun 3

Remote work because life is so much better when you can draft materials with a ~20 lb cat in your lap. 🐈‍⬛
