Associates are expensive, plus you have to worry about keeping
them busy on billable work.
Not exact matches
Unfortunately, I do know attorneys that will do «
busy work»
on a file or case just so they can charge
billable hours to their client.
Elaborating
on that, perhaps BLG's problem was not unreasonable
billable rates or «the
billable hour» in general, but just insufficient delegation which left the senior lawyer with too much
busy work.
