They claim that they sleep only 5-6 hrs, work 7 days a week and don't have time for anything else. Is it true and worth it?
True. I regularly brief seniors (DHC) who are in courts from 10:30 till 4:30, start taking briefings at 5:30 to 10:30, are up studying at 5 and continue with morning briefings at 8/9 a.m. Briefings on weekends start at 10 in the morning and run through the day.
And when they do spend time with their families? How do they keep a track on the lives of their children? Your answer suggests that they only work and sleep.
Having briefed Seniors like SL and SA, they do work 7 days a week for sure with long days however, most of them also make it a point to attend most social obligations and keep building on their network.
SL seems Siddharth Luthra but who's SA? Sorry for the ignorance.

Also isn't Mukul Rohatgi's office also a 7 day working office?
Considering SL is Siddharth Luthra, SA has to be Mr. Siddharth Aggarwal
Almost all SC Senior’s office is working 7 days a week, with most giving off for Friday after Court and slightly relaxed working hours (8-10 instead of 12-14) for weekends.
Bhai, SA maybe ambiguous but SL is not, at least for Delhi lit
Surely true for some lawyers, but definitely doesn't seem worth it. No point in earning bucket loads of money if you don't have the time to enjoy it. The less said about the impact of such a routine on one's health the better.
Lawyers glorifying long working hours and lack of work life balance always amuses me and it's actually sad that even after earning crores and crores, you still can't have control over your time.
Oh, the seniors WANT it this way. (Just as an aside - NAP told his then fiance that he didnt want any children because he wanted to focus on the law: the larger point is thag people do exist for whom actually work life balance is irrelevant.)
And they show off like their work is even more important than scientists and doctors.
Mostly in Delhi. Bombay Madras senior counsels are not this exhausting (barring a few exceptions of course)
I once briefed a senior who gave me a 6.30 am appointment!!
