If you divide 2650 by 51 weeks (not 52 in order to account major holidays, anytime you're out of the office at all, random slow day, etc.), that works out to about 52 billable hours per week. 52 hours is a pretty heavy week and that's EVERY FUCKING WEEK.

I bet this guy probably has plenty of 60-70 hours weeks with some 40 hour weeks thrown in.

LOL dude how did you manage to make this political?

The answer to your question requires that you understand the term "value billing"

Anyways, even notwithstanding that this year has been incredibly demanding. I work all day, see my daughter for a couple hours, work until bedtime. I have actually done a pretty good job protecting my weekends (with some notable exceptions).

My agreed realization rate is >97%, though various clients receive rate discounts. But even that is going away. business is just insane right now in my field.

some yes, some no. my firm has a large "investigations" practices, which seems pretty relationship oriented and fun. we have a small but hardcore appellate practice; those dudes are nerds but they get their rocks off. IP lit seems hellishly busy, technical and acrimonious. the general commercial lit guys always seem slow and like they are hustling for work, but I kind of envy them because they just sit around most of the time but still pull down an amount of money that would make your grandmother nauseous (even if much lower than busier practices).

And that isn't how you should calculate it.

Assume 150 non-billable bullshit hours for shit like marketing, CLEs, writing articles, inputting time, reviewing bills, etc. (2800 total) Now assume he also takes 3 weeks vacation (and lets one week burn) and we're at 48 weeks. That comes out to almost 60/week. This doesn't account for a slow day/week. IRL that means that some weeks will be "slow" (40 hours a week or less) which will be balanced by "hard" weeks (80 hours or more).

IOW, this is horrible.

First of all, I would strongly doubt that anyone billing 2650 hours is taking three weeks vacation. And if they are "on vacation" they are working the entire time. The mere suggestion of this by TMF is laughable and demonstrates his complete lack of understanding of how private practice works.

Well, it depends. If you're a mom with 3 kids and wanna be a supermom, then maybe its 1800 or even lower. If you're a single bro and don't really have much else going then maybe its 2200 or 2400. It really depends on what you value and how much time you need outside of work to feel happy/fulfilled.

The billable hour model58 takes a toll on all attorneys, but it is particularly onerous for female attorneys59 because of the likelihood that women will experience irreconcilable conflicts between billing minimums and family responsibilities.60 Forty years ago, partners in law firms averaged 1200 to 1400 billable hours per year while associates averaged 1400 to 1600 hours.61 The number rose to 1800 in the 1980s,62 and in the 1990s, the figure was over 2000.63 The current figure of 2200 billable hours per year for associates amounts to working twelve hours a day, five days a week, plus seven hours on Saturdays twice per month, with a total of three weeks of vacation per year.64 Due to the drastic rise in the dependency *434 on the billable hour model, the ABA created a Commission on Billable Hours and conducted a survey in 2002.65 The study discussed the connection between the system of billable hours and the diminished mental and physical health of attorneys, their problematic personal and professional relationships, and the effect of billable hours on attorney attrition.66 The survey found that an increasing number of attorneys indicate a preference for a pay cut to gain some control over their qualities of life rather than continuing to be bound to the billable hour.67

I don't appreciate you just asking dumb generic questions to get your hit count up. So I'll answer this question and only this question. I generally get in by 9:00 AM and leave at 6:30 sharp. I log back online at 8:30 or 9:00 and do a couple hours in the evening. I try not to bill more than 2 hours any weekend day, but don't always succeed. I also had a very intense case this year where I billed 315 and 290 hours back to back, so that has allowed me to work more humane hours later in the year.

Two main annoyances specific to private practice:

- Partners' incentives (billable hour, associate utilization, etc.) are to such that partners create boil-the-ocean projects that have some marginal value to the matter but would never be created if the incentives were better aligned. Encourages poor management and unnecessary time spent working.

- No respect for personal time. Assumption is that you're in a client-servicing business and time on the clock is better than time off the clock. Busy working weekends are a virtue, not a sign of a failed life.

Should also mention my favorite thing: Getting to work with some super smart people. It would take a long time to get used to working with dumbs.

It’s a little more complicated than that. To do legal work at a “high level,” it does require a certain level of intelligence. Vast majority of people do not possess logical reasoning skills or ability to analyze certain concepts or craft an argument in a coherent manner. But assuming you have that intelligence and, say, grads of t14 do, thousands of lawyers graduate every year who can do this work. That brief you’re writing or marking up that SPA can be done by thousands of equally intelligent people and you can easily replaced by somebody in a second. The sooner you realize that, the easier it’ll be for you to accept that the best thing you can get out of a legal career is some combination of good money and/or good lifestyle to do other things.

The thing I hated most about biglaw litigation specifically is that insane level of perfection given to absolute meaningless minutiae. I once got lectured by a partner for not knowing that exhibits attached to a brief filed in a specific fed court must be consecutively numbered from the main doc. Excuse me that I didn’t read all the local rules. He prob got lectured for it and is now repeating the cycle. Now I make mistakes all the time and it’s NBD because nobody is paying us $1000/hr to be perfect.

Billing is obviously the #1 downside to any type of firm work, not just biglaw. When you have a down week or month, you know they’re going to find out and you’re going to have to make up for it on other months to end around 2000/year. That means you have no way to hide how much you’re working. That was the main thing driving me in house. Now nobody has no idea how much I’m working and all it matters is I get my stuff done.

If I had known then what I know now, I’d advise any big lawyer whose goal is to leave after a number of years and go in house to get into niche practices that will land them high paying gigs. Such areas include asset management, hedge funds, tech trans, tax etc.

I’d also advise anybody going in house to eventually work for an in house dept that has fewer than 10 lawyers. That’s where all the money’s at. You go to a huge company with hundreds of lawyers, legal will always be a big cost center and you will never rise in the ranks in a meaningful way. Go small and become GC or deputy GC.

A good one? Everything here is done on a formula and Ive been lucky enough to bring in a couple cases.

Time to lateral, dude, if they fuck you. We do everything on a modifiable but mostly fixed formula. With 5 MM in originations you'd be looking at 2-3 MM here (and plenty of other places). My originations are just over 2 this year and I worked a good deal on a case that I didn't originate.

I'd keep looking. There are plenty of firms out there that rep NPEs, butthey probably aren't as prestigious as your current firm They also tend to be fairly eat what you kill too.

I would assume the lit finance firms are familar with the legit troll firms (no offense), but I get it. Still if you don't make a million bucks or more this year, your full time job should be looking firm that will pay you more and be good enough to keep the lit-fi coming in. You owe it to XO, otherwise a bunch of boomers are just stealing from you.

Yeah, this is insane. If I had 5 MM in originations, I'd be retired in three years; sucking and fucking my way acrossed the world (and boy would my wife be mad about that *rimshot*).

I'd rather be the one doing the fucking and only a small percentage of the sucking though. It's a small but important distinction.

i mean i can ask our IP lit department if you would consider it. I know we defend against patent trolls a few times a year but that is not a major part of our practice.

100 attorneys give or take over 3 offices. Maybe a bit more.

IP itself is pretty smallish. But a bunch of crossover with regular litigators.

you got some senior associates or service partners you can lean on? you need to be out lunching man and just making appearances on conference calls to criticize other peoples' work, without actually knowing what's going on.
