[quote=Anonymous]Try and think of this from the client's perspective. (I am transactional, so doc production doesn't apply). I have something that needs attending to. It would take a 4th year plus no more than 3 hours. So let's assume 700 an hour MAX. That's max 2100. You guys assign it to a 1st year. We have a first year and a senior meeting to assign the project. 1 hour. The two lawyers bill me a total of 1000 just to assign the work. Then the first year spend 8 hours figuring it out. Not dumb, just starting from zero. That's 3200 more. Then another couple hours for the senior to review and the first year to revise. Another 1500. Now I have a 5700 dollar bill for something that should have cost me 2000 max. How are you defending that? And I pick and pay lawyers who provide value to me. So I am more likely to pick a senior associate or a mid over contacting a partner. It builds your book. [/quote]
