One partner at my firm (who's not even that old) is maybe in the office 4 days a month. The rest of the time he's serving on boards and collecting client fees for being the "relationship" partner. Nice job if you can get it. Good point about the board seat thing for older partners – the younger ones need to curry favor with the client for business and the older ones just want a board seat.

And be careful; if you do go, you don't want to piss off the managing partner, who is trying to curry favor with the charity; particularly if he wants to be on the board of the charity -- a big thing for the older farts who want to say they are "giving back". They do so by "volunteering" schlubs like us who are "public spirited" enough to warm the chairs with our time on other weekend events. I wound up being "volunteered" for 3 consecutuve Saturdays of painting at some old age home reconstruction. And I still had to bill the same 50 hours those weeks. The only saving grace was that I hooked up at the painting party with a great college cousin of the managing partner. Great sex, but I hope she keeps her mouth shut. I'd rather bone her at her place without all the extra charity. Watch out!
