Brad Scheller usually gets to work around 7 a.m. In his New York office, the Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo partner keeps a spare, stand up string bass. It’s not performance-ready, but Scheller’s wife asked him to get it out of the house.

“I get in pretty early and I’ll stand there and I’ll just play a little bit before my day starts and before anyone else gets here,” he said.
