If you are thinking that law firms are all about big bucks, fancy offices, and dressed-up personalities across the UK’s top law firms. Then you are not 100% correct. An anonymous survey with over 2,000 trainees and junior lawyers, revealed insight into the working patterns and working hours of top leading law firms.
Last year the average working hours for trainee and junior solicitors decreased, this is considered a small win for work-life balance. On the other hand, Kirkland & Ellis have working hours for juniors, over 12 hours of work time, and no log-out before 10 p.m. The Ropes & Gray, Weil Gotshal & Manges, and Milbank follow the same 12 hours of work time.
However, Fletchers Solicitors came with a new work hour which is 8 hours 36 minutes, and Russell-Cooke shortened their average working hours to 9 hours a day, also the newbie can log out at 6:15 p.m.
According to the survey, hundreds of rookies commented,
“Balance? Sorry mate, never heard of him.”
“Hours are, of course, not exactly 9 to 5, but it’s certainly not dissimilar to any other serious private equity or finance outfit in the City”
“Weekends and holidays are honored (unless there are emergencies) and your time is mostly respected. However, when work calls you are expected to answer.”
