Work-life balance on trial


THE phrase “work-life balance” dominates workplace conversations and the legal profession is no exception. Young graduates search for it, mid-level associates crave it, and even senior lawyers like myself wonder whether it is truly achievable.

The answer, however, depends almost entirely on the nature of the work performed. While some legal roles come with predictable hours, the reality is far more sobering for those who handle complex litigation or high-stakes corporate transactions.
