Bill the most is a bit different from most insane hours. A firm like WLRK has an essentially endless amount of work that allows associates to bill for just about every minute on the office. Other firms may result in far fewer billables but have associate working crazy hours with a decent amount of just waiting for the work to come in.Anonymous User wrote:Who bills the most?

M&A groups are the busiest. But what's V5? You mean V6nealric wrote: In terms of most work hours, I think v5 M&A groups are likely at the top.
Is that what they are calling it these days? Not necessarily referring to specific firms, but the very top M&A practices that are getting the biggest and most labor intensive deals.Anonymous User wrote:M&A groups are the busiest. But what's V5?

I can tell you that as a paralegal (well, legal asst) at Cravath, I billed 2600 and 2700 hours in my two years there. I was in M&A my first year and cap mkts my second. I was very tired afterward. Then I went to grad school.Anonymous User wrote:Who bills the most? Any stories from friends/other lawyers would be cool. I'm not no gunner I'm just real curious
