I hope you find someone who knows the firm. I don’t but looked it up out of curiosity. It’s an unusual setup with a reported 39 partners and 59 lawyers spread over seven offices — Seattle, Spokane, Austin, Vancouver WA (essentially Portland, OR), Vienna VA (suburban DC), Atlanta, and Fairport, NY (suburban Rochester, NY). That’s a wildly unusual geographic footprint and partner heavy configuration. I would ask a lot of questions before getting involved. I’m not sure how a business plan like that would work.

Thank you for your service, A1. 🇺🇸

Firm founder Lewis Lee was bought out close to 10 years ago now. Firm was struggling a bit financially but then bounced back and was doing well as of a few years ago.

It’s a very solid IP-heavy mid-law firm in the PNW.

Source: I did not work there but have friends who did.

Great culture in Spokane. Good folks. Litigation group is essentially nonexistent in Spokane. They do some patent litigation, but the firm is very patent prosecution centric.

Salary offer for an associate position a few years ago was normal for Spokane ($130k (ish)) but horrible for all other places for a 3rd/4th yr associate.

Think the firm is doing just fine financially.

Hi fishes, my previous employer has not given me the money for Earned Leaves, they are saying it's not in their policy.. I have a variable bonus of 100000. Out of this they have given only 19,000 in the month of December after 6 months of joining...But they are not giving me any bonus after completing 1 year and 2 months.. They have stopped my appraisal as well...

So in total, I lost my appraisal money, bonus and Earned Leaves money... I feel betrayed and cheated...

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good?
