    Post 3 Biglaw firms chzrging $1000 per hour for associates

    This totally blows my mind. If they can get it, they can get it. Up to $1000 per hour for associates. Associates.


    At least 3 BigLaw firms charge more than $1K per hour for top associates

    That is crazy. Here in DC some Big Law partners charge that, but associates are much lower.

    These are for bankruptcy cases. I wonder if a judge will call them on it.

    I make $1,000 an hour, then I work the rest of the week for free.

    I would think so. Lawyers fees are always paid in a bankruptcy, and the judge is suppose to ensure they are reasonable.
