I have signed a letter of intent, now just waiting for the practice to send the contract. What is a reasonable amount of time that this should take? Thx!

Depends on the size of the practice and your role entering (e.g. partnership track vs. associate). Generally larger practices have contracts in place and within 4-6 weeks you should have a draft in hand. With solo practitioners, they may have to get an attorney to draft one, and it may take longer. This is not a hard case, and you can simply e-mail the practice and say "my attorney would like a time frame for the review of the contract so that he/she can plug me into their schedule. When should expect a draft?"

Good luck!
