Bumble and billables: the woes of dating as a lawyer (and why partners should care)

O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?

Last week, The Lawyer reported that time-poor lawyers are struggling to date in a profession where time is money. Longer hours for junior lawyers, compounded by a waning London dating market, is only adding to the problem.
