I’m not at Proskauer but at a firm with no billables requirement. I just do what I get staffed on. It is nice not really keeping track of your aggregate hours. I just submit my time and don’t think about it anymore

I am at Proskauer. There’s no billable minimum although there are rumors there may be one instated by the new chairman of the firm. Hours aren’t bad for biglaw though varies by group I think. I do think the culture is great even though morale this year with the pandemic has been tough

I don’t have a requirement and still bill like I would have a 2000 hr requirement. That being said, I do know people from law school and from working across from them on deals who are happy with the culture.

I used to be at Proskauer and would agree with associate 5. For NYC biglaw, I think Proskauer has a good culture and reasonable expectations. They do actually make efforts to make sure your life there is sustainable. I only left to be in another market.

It’s hard for me to avoid the conclusion that associates are largely being strung along by partners who are going to can them at some point, long after that decision is made.
