During one nine-month stretch on takeover litigation as the lead associate, I averaged 90 hours a week, and at the end of it worked for 56 hours straight without a break or any sleep, to meet a filing deadline (made by chartering a helicopter to get the papers to court on time). I wouldn’t trade those years for anything. It was the best work possible for a young lawyer, at the best law firm on earth.”"

Date: May 28th, 2018 9:34 AM Author: Vivacious base TBF there was a lot more inefficiency then. You had to call in and check your messages. And when there were things like TROs going on — which there were a ton of in the junk bond corporate raider days — you would be in the office 24/7, though you often had to wait for shit (from typists, from courriers, etc.) and couldn’t bill that.
Also $1.6 M was not bad when a 3br apartment on CPW cost $1 M. |
