Any insight into WilmerHale NYC?
You’re a fixed (or capped) cost to the firm. Once comp and overhead are covered, every extra hour billed is nearly pure profit. That pure profit flows entirely to the partners. It’s not hard to see why they drive associates into the ground given the financial incentives.
Old partners. Once they die life will change

I want to be optimistic too but they face the same stressors/challenges we face to churn things out in a certain timeline (they are serving their own clients) and as others have mentioned those that are rising to the top are allegedly the ones that endured it. As I see it, the only thing that might fix it is that mental health issues are acknowledged as an actual public health problem and more government regulation is issued around work hours and being online 24/7 so it becomes culturally ingrained across the board. Like the 8 hour workday, the 5 days week, etc. all became a thing because of government regulation not out of the goodness of the hearts of everyone everywhere.

The current big law model requires attrition. They need a large number of junior associates and fewer and fewer senior associates as it gets closer to partnership. It makes more financial sense for them to squeeze everything they can out of associates and have people leave after a few years versus making it a better place to work and having everyone want to stay forever.
Coach
Not homegrown partners. Lateral partners bring books of business and new clients, thus growing the pie. Homegrown partners typically don’t bring in new clients, but are grown using existing clients and existing relationships. There’s some homegrown business development, but not a lot, and each existing client relationship can only support so many partners.
Subject Expert
Because they don’t really care about your mental health. The system works by grinding out as many hours as possible from associates until they break, move on, or make partner themselves. By definition, the ones who make partner survived the hazing and largely believe that’s the way a firm is run. When your mental health runs up against the firm’s profits, the profits will win. Every. Single. Time.
Keep in mind if you think it’s bad as an associate, it’s far worse at the partner level. The entire system is busted but it will never truly be fixed because it will always pay enough to induce enough young people to throw themselves into the grinder for a few years.
Mentor
As long as clients expect things to be turned around within unreasonable deadline for the staffing that the relevant firm has the “cannot say no lawyers” (including myself here) will always kill themselves to deliver. Not that much to do with billable hours or mean partners who just keep driving the associates for no motive whatsoever from where I stand.

The origin: billable hour. Until we don’t figure out a better business model, the incentives are f******
