This may be obvious but can you ask for more work?
Loudly make yourself available to all lit groups for doc review. You may get lucky and staffed on a large doc review and make up your hours there.
I did this once as a senior associate. I got a few funny looks about it, but I got staffed to a huge doc review, and made up the missing hours and then some.
How big of a hole are you in? Remember that you can hit 2000 hours by doing 160 per month (which is essentially 2 full weeks off with 40 hours per week otherwise). While I’ve always been in a slammed group so my perspective may be different, but I’m sure you’ll make up for it with a couple 200+ months. I regularly put up 250s last year and then putting a slow 130 didn’t even register as an “issue”
Say yes to everything billable and rack up a few 300 hour months.
Account vs bill? As in you can count nonbillable work toward your hours? There's your answer right there, I think.
