Totally depends on the firm, your role, caseload, etc. Need more information on your opportunity

Honestly, as a paralegal, I welcome attorneys taking vacations and working within the normal 8 hour day. It gives me time to catch up on the less important things I need to deal with and doesn’t make me feel overwhelmed on Monday morning when I walk in to 70+ emails for things that need to be handled “asap” from the weekend.

I work for a partner that gives out his personal cell to all of his clients and encourages his associates to do the same… totally blows my mind. Everyone needs a work life balance.

Unless there’s an absolute emergency that cannot wait until the next work day, work your designated hours just like everyone else unless your contract specifically states otherwise.
