Maybe a long shot, but anyone in US-based big law M&A work from a home office in Europe for an extended period of time? Thinking of attempting it and wondering whether there are tricks/tips to manage the time zone difference without sleeping during the day and working all night.

It’s rough and depends on how much control you have over scheduling of calls / responding to emails in a ‘timely’ fashion. Benefit is you have the morning and can respond before others are up if things come in late evening / overnight but if you don’t get enough sleep then you won’t be up as early either (at least not if you do this for an extended period of time and want to feel like a human being). How long are you thinking of working from Europe? And can you go during a period when work usually slows down for you or do you have flexibility to plan relatively short in advance so you can go during a slower period and have some control as to what you take on? But if you’re a partner I’m assuming you will have less control over the latter.

Am I missing something?
