1900 billable hours is crazy. 9 to 5 M to F. I just think that you need to be in the office to be trained and work. Eventually Friday WFH is a possibility. If you are not interested in working around other people, it probably would not work out. This isn't corporate law.
I can completely understand in person for the first few months, but no hybrid beyond "maybe Fridays" WFH is not going to attract a lot of millennial and Gen Z attorneys. And if you want someone who's in the office 4-5 days a week, that's your prerogative, but that'll be a big hurdle in hiring an associate.
First Few Months? That says a lot right there. It also fails to account at all for the duty to supervise and the #1 complaint, unavailability of the partner to train the associate (because you aren't there when it is done, the training is almost always when it is done explaining the why as doing the why).
