[quote=Anonymous]You could change it but then you would make a lot less. Clients don't expect you to work on nights and weekends and do everything very fast but also perfectly because they think their corporate legal issue is as important as curing cancer. They demand those things because they are paying astronomical fees for your services and when someone charges you a huge amount for their work you get very demanding. If your DH is a big law lifer who is now a partner then those fees paid for your house and your kids and probably private school and nice vacations and will fund a very pleasant retirement and pay for your kids to attend good schools at full pay and so on. Would you give any of that up for your husband to be home at 6pm and be able to get through a weekend or a family vacation without a client call? If the answer is no (and it probably is) then you are a major reason why Big Law will never change. [/quote]
