What agency if you don’t mind? About to leave boutique firm with BL hours for a trial attorney position…

Yes. After a 70h billable week, you can probably sleep on weekends, unless the client emails you on Saturday 8am and texts you at 9am to verify you got the email. And then you can have a call Sunday at noon with the client in front of a restaurant while your significant other is having brunch on her own.
