According to Bloomberg Law’s 2024 Attorney Workload and Hours Survey, attorneys report experiencing burnout an average of 42% of the time. The rate is highest among mid-to-senior associates at 51%, followed by partners at 40% and junior associates at 37%. Female attorneys report burnout at a rate of 53%, compared to 41% for male attorneys. These figures represent self-reported chronic burnout, not occasional work stress, and researchers in this space consistently note that stigma around disclosure means true prevalence is likely higher.
