The firm has two tracks for associates, a 1900 billable hour
track and a 1650 billable hour track, in addition to a part-time
track. Associates can choose the 1650 track after being
at the firm for a year.
An associate warned on Vault.com
that part-time attorneys can end up taking home a lot of
work to do when they are supposed to be "off."
This information is from 2002 and may no longer be accurate:
Associates are allowed to work part-time for a limited period
of time, but they can request a renewal of their part-time status.
They remain eligible for partnership, but their progress is
delayed in accordance with the amount of time by which they
have reduced their schedules. Associates must work full-time
for a year before being considered for partnership.
Part-time associates remain eligible for bonuses.
The firm also has contract attorneys.
