I am a mom and a partner at a DC law firm and feel like I look like I was run over by a truck most days and am barely hanging on. How on earth does she have time to do her actual work, give speeches, travel as much as she does between NY and London much less all the other countries she visits for work and pleasure, go to countless fancy evening events, shop for all of her glam outfits much less have time to always have her hair done, put on a full face of make up, etc. I cannot imagine how she makes this all work and yet she does it. Brava, Amal!
As far as I can tell she is not a lawyer trying to make partner hours (60-80 hours of client time and billables a week) instead she chooses very selectively which cases she works on to argue before The Hague. Her chambers is a collective group, more like a co-op than a firm. She’s smart and her clientele list is top-notch but then again she spent 20 years building her reputation when regular women sidetrack themselves with children.
