Yikes. I'd see if any prospective coworkers are willing to talk to you about work/life balance and how they've managed with that expectation. It seems pretty high. I'm on the claimant side, but I've interviewed with a few defense firms just to leave no stone unturned. In firms with an 1800 expectation, everyone seems to manage easily enough in 40ish hour weeks. Crank that up by a third, and I think you'd need to work more like 50-55 hours.

Everyone I know who bills hours says there are tricks to it though. Took 30 seconds to send a quick email? Bill client 10 minutes.
