[quote=Anonymous]Big law partner here. I've worked at 2 well regarded firms in DC (top 50 am law type thing). In both firms, average billable hours were in the 1600s for equity pace partners, not much higher for non-equity partners, and in the 1700s for associates. I know people love on this site to talk about their crazy hours and 2100 being low.... but in DC, there are a LOT of regulatory and other practices where 2000+ hours a year are near impossible. And lots of associates and partners going home by 6:30 every night (pre covid). I will bill around 1750 this year, which is just a smudge shy of last year -- but solidly above average for the partners in my large practice group of probably 50-70 partners. I will still get a comfortable bonus this year based on those hours. As to the covid impact, back in march we all thought we'd be dead and unemployed. But my practice area, and a bunch of others, ended up being insanely busy this year despite the economic slump. [/quote]
