[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who come from biglaw have this issue a lot. Your definition of “billable” is different than theirs. [/quote] Really? I've worked for two biglaw firms and never heard of an issue like OP's. Our hours-based bonuses were always based on the amount the associate billed (excluding firm hours and with special rules for pro bono (one firm capped the number that counted)), not the amount that actually ended up on the invoice.[/quote] Read again. People who COME FROM biglaw run into this a lot because, as you say, it’s not how billable hours are counted in biglaw, but the biglaw way is not how it’s counted outside of biglaw necessarily. I kept in touch with lots of friends from law school and this hit me right away. People at non biglaw firms complained constantly about having their hours cut, while in biglaw we never worried about it. [/quote]
