Partners are partners because they bring in the clients. They are about the only profession with no "non compete". They take their clients with them if they switch firms. Associates work on the matters that the partner gives them. Currently, partners have to bill 2,000 hours a year. That is 50 weeks at 40 hours of billing. It is quite the workload.

Bill Barr was part of Kirkland but he never became partner. He is probably so insufferable that he can't bring in business.
