What are the typical yearly billable requirements for associates in big law firms? I saw that Hunton Andrews Kruth has only a 1500 yearly requirement. Is that correct? If so, that seems really low when compared to others.

Very low. But ask what people actually bill...sometimes the real unspoken expectation is way higher than the “minimum”.

Firm used to have a single pass/fail number. Now many have 4. A lower limit that muse be met (1600) a number to qualify for the yearly class raise of $10k (1800), a number where bonus calculation starts (2000) and a number where a fixed bonus is given (2200).

huh? 👀. i think i’m going to HUNTON! lol. jk. that is low though. 1850-1950

Chicago big law firm 2000

2400 but it’s first party property. I can fall out of bed and get it. Last year I did 3300.

I’m sorry but when I hear people billed 3300 it screams padding of hours. If you take 3300/365 you get 9.04 hours billed a day EVERY DAY. There are ethical issues here that firms just ignore. It’s pretty pathetic.
