Any partners come back to your firm as a contractor? How is that?

I would never do that unless you are past mandatory retirement age

Deloitte expressly forbids it. Needs a board vote. Pretty much impossible

Ey forbids it too. It was abused in the past (friends of the board were kept on as contractors past age 60) so now it’s not allowed. In rare circumstances it can be approved for one year only (eg audit rotation transition)

If anyone has done it I’d appreciate your advice!

Not a retired partner but I worked with one that brought an engagement to us. There was a very limited amount of work he could do if engaged by the firm before impacting his pension, so he ended up being engaged by the client directly and we had a separate contract to support him. The amount was small enough to not make it worth it.

Thanks for the insight!

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea.

Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?
