"Be prepared to be on the clock a lot longer at King & Spalding, where the firm has introduced a 2400 hour "productive" time target. In other words, attorneys will have to figure out how to describe 2400 hours worth of work to the firm's billing software every year. This seems to follow the overarching retreat from the work from home era, which also made news this week with a firm announcing a new office mandate... but just for some associates."
"This seems to follow the overarching retreat from the work from home era, which also made news this week with a firm announcing a new office mandate... but just for some associates. Justice Jackson drew upon a generational touchstone to succinctly describe the Supreme Court majority's jurisprudence. And a pair of the spineless firms are providing free legal services to the Commerce Department."
King & Spalding has implemented a 2,400-hour "productive" time target that effectively requires attorneys to document 2,400 hours of work in billing software each year. The move aligns with a broader retreat from widespread remote work, and another firm announced an office-mandate that applies only to certain associates. Justice Jackson invoked a generational touchstone to characterize the Supreme Court majority's jurisprudence. Two law firms are providing free legal services to the Commerce Department. These developments signal changes in firm culture, workplace expectations, and law firm engagement with government work.
