The pressure to increase productivity in the white collar profession has increased by leaps and bounds over the years and the legal profession is no exception. In fact such a work culture is more of a norm in this profession. It is like an unspoken contract that you sign when you start a career in law you have to put in extra hours without anyone telling you to. Hence, most legal employees have to put in lots of effort and hard work in order to make sure that they have a steady income from their career. They require putting in almost sixty hours of work in a week and this sometimes even goes up to 70 hours a week. Sometimes they even need to put in 12 hours a day and 8 to 9 hours on the weekends. This leads to most lawyers stress themselves out of their existing capacities. This leaves most people in the legal career with no time whatsoever for relationships or for a personal life.
Considering the present scenario it is difficult for all employees, whether in the law field or any other corporate sector, to imagine work weeks of 40 hours. This is because these days there are increased pressures to put in more work hours which also may also add to the income of the legal professionals. Added to this there are the aspirations of employers of increasing productivity of their firms. Today, white collar workers like lawyers require working not only in the office premises but also at home in the weekends and during vacations too says, A. Harrison Barnes, the owner of the job search engine Law Crossing.com. Advancements in the field of technology have enabled working from home.
