Curious about partner roles during those all-nighter assignments. Do partners actually have to be in and doing work (or supervising it) when those sudden all-night assignments come in. Or would a senior associate handle it (and manage/supervise the junior associates)?

I believe (I’d have to double-check) that someone said partners have more predictable hours (but not necessarily less) than associates in biglaw? Would they have less all-nighter type of work as well?
