Government regulators in Australia have been cracking down on law firms whose attorneys are doing what corporate lawyers around the world consider normal—working long hours.

Within the past two months, two of the nation’s top firms—King & Wood Mallesons and Gilbert + Tobin—have been called out by state occupational health and safety regulators for allegedly overworking lawyers and staffers. At King & Wood Mallesons, officials received reports saying that attorneys were working around the clock to meet punishing deadlines. At Gilbert + Tobin, complaints indicated attorneys were at risk because of intense fatigue from overwork and related drug use.
