Billing 60 to 100 hours per week, 34-year-old Daniel Dusek is struggling to perfect that delicate work and life balance. His advice to the newly married: “Don’t bring your work home.” Easier said than done for Dusek, who admits that his clients’ interests are “paramount to anything else.”
Dusek hails from Prague, where his grandfather co-founded Charter 77, an opposition movement. The communist regime did not look kindly upon his grandfather’s activities and kept close watch on the family; Dusek left in 1991. After graduating from Harvard, he worked for the Permanent Mission of the Czech Republic to the United Nations before attending NYU Law School, then heading to Skadden, Arps, a firm ranked first in the country for corporate representation in a 2007 National Law Journal survey. In January, the Wall Street Journal ranked Skadden first among law firms; it handled almost $764 billion in transactions last year.
Even in a powerhouse firm of some 2,000 attorneys, Dusek dazzles.
