As one of the largest law firms in the world, we are a fully integrated network of lawyers and legal professionals sharing one clear vision.
There is an unspoken rule for grads to be in the office more than others but no one has specifically told me to do this. I think my work hours are completely fine for the legal profession, I was expecting it to be worse. The partners I have worked for have been very flexible so far i.e. needing to WFH for a doctors appt.
Some teams are flexible with the hours you work and working from home. However, in other teams you cannot work from home or it is not the culture to do so. I think the firm would benefit from encouraging at least one day work from home so people have a better work life balance, and allows people to not commute for one day. The actual hours worked will differ depending on the team and the matters they are working on - some are better than others.
