Q: I am a second-year, female litigation associate at a BigLaw. During the last couple of months, I heard from two partners one male and one female, who said that I am too nice and one of whom was actually agitated that I was accommodating to opposing counsel by telling them that we would provide them with something which we had an obligation to give them.

I am worried that if I want to advance as a litigator in my firm I need stop giving off the nice girl impression.
