Its increased steadily with seniority. As a senior associate, 10-15 of which 2-5 are like *active* and the rest have some stuff going on or are pre-active

Same here. I’m a senior associate as well. 2-5 matters are active in which I am doing a majority of work or the type of work is more in depth and the other 10 are matters where I am managing/supervising others and providing strategy or high level advice.

2-3

This could vary significantly. I have days where I only work one file intensively, and then days where I am back-to-back meetings on different topics all day.

1 to 3

I probably touch 7 ish a day but properly work on (2 hours +) 2-3 a day

2-6

10-20 🥺

Usually 3-5 large active deals and at least that many more matters where I’m doing something post-closing or asset management related.
