I remember on deal where another attorney and I stayed up for 4 nights in a row to close a deal. We were in Salt Lake City and only the other out of town attorneys were doing the all nighters. We had a deadline on the deal and we closed a couple of hours before the deadline

I did get the support staff at our local counsel to get me diet coke with caffeine.
