Any advice on how to negotiate a year end bonus/pay raise. Smaller TT PI firm in NY, started 1 year ago 65k/yr and 40% of fees. Since starting I have taken over my own caseload and now independently run approximately 100 cases. I have also brought in a few accident cases ranging in mid 5 to low 6 figures value. I have also shown my bosses a desire to invest in myself and the firm (creating my own social media pages/brand, networking, etc). Hoping for a 10% raise or ideally getting to 70k/yr.

40% of all fees or 40% of fees for cases you bring in?

ask for a piece of any case you settle too. ask for 10%. A lot of P firms do something similar. 45% of what you bring in 5% of any settlement. 10% of verdict. 7-8% for arbitration or settlement after jury selection. get creative and show them you’re not just looking for higher base salary. you’re willing to earn it on settlements. I would also ask for a bump in base pay.

Cost of living, experience, and value should be discussed. Depending on your year 65k is low for NY

You get 40% of fees? Jesus.
