Posted by Bob F: “As a Cravath associate in the 1980s for nearly 10 years, my ‘low’ was 2,500 hours and my ‘high’ was 3,500. During one nine-month stretch on takeover litigation as the lead associate, I averaged 90 hours a week, and at the end of it worked for 56 hours straight without a break or any sleep, to meet a filing deadline (made by chartering a helicopter to get the papers to court on time). I wouldn’t trade those years for anything. It was the best work possible for a young lawyer, at the best law firm on earth.”

Cravath (and WLRK) attorneys are eminently competent. Can't say the same about Skadden, DPW, or Simpson.

It might be worth slaving away for two years to earn this label of competence.

That may be true but it's hard to justify the billing hours in the OP.

*divides the amount of time he is away that week by things he's worked on at work for his billable number*

Studies have repeatedly shown that people are atrocious at estimating their working hours if they aren't systematically tracking them or placed on a fixed schedule of known duration.

If my lawyer told me he worked 56 straight hours and chartered a helicopter to meet a filing deadline I would tell him to get some sleep because he's fired.
