Lawyer Outsources His Lifestyle

The ABA Journal Law News Now recently reported that a partner at a New York law firm uses a lifestyle manager who arranges parties, helps find hairstylists, helps find friends, helps find clothes, etc.  The law partner had used his lifestyle manager to organize a party at his home for 200 acquaintances, using a $5,000 budget.

Due to billable hours and the demands of legal practice, lawyers are more apt to outsource life and social activities.  Lawyers, however, should focus on outsourcing and delegating certain aspects of their work so as to have more personal time.  Alternative billing would allow for this type of outsourcing . . . .
