That leaves a business lawyer with a practical question, and we take it up at the top.

Interesting article on how we look at a lawyer's work load
Maybe the most resilient response isn’t always “I can handle it,” but instead, “Yes, I can, but I choose not to handle it this way.” Perhaps it’s time to challenge the myth of resilience. https://www.attorneyatwork.com/myth-of-resilience/
