Advice to law firm management:
You might want to take a step back and evaluate how many billable hours associates need to log. The current amount seems too high.

Pros:
The partners and associates here have a moral code that is rarely, if ever, broken. They try to do the right thing by their clients and coworkers no matter how hard that might be.

Cons:
The workload here can be excruciating at times. Associates are expected to meet challenging billable hours goals and this can cause a lot of pressure with achieving a healthy work/life balance.
