Susman, Wachtell, Boies (and several other litigation boutiques) all have had bonuses that exceeded 100% of base salary (160k). In order to get those bonuses, however, you're probably looking at at least 2400 billable hours a year.



Working 2400 billable hours probably means closer to 3000 actual hours right?

Right. 80% efficiency is about as high as you can get. It's a real grind.
