I’m in SC, so that’s far from minimum wage.

You should bring in 200-250k no problem. I was on a 12% fee only with no base salary and made $320k.

12% of fees. I had a ton of cases though. About 150 with about 30-40 in litigation. The workload was absolutely ridiculous. As far as time, the pay structure didn’t start as commission only. It started as a salary with transition into part commission and then transition into full commission. No longer work there because of the unrealistic expectations of the workload.

I mean, it depends on your type of caseload and the value of your cases, but I would love this comp structure. A million in fees gets you $100k, and if you are handling high value cases, this shouldn’t be too difficult.

I think standard rate in my area is 3% of fees collected, so this sounds good

You should also negotiate a higher % for cases you bring in

I was just coming here to say this. That is a really really low rate. Most firms pay more than that for cases you originate.

I would kill for that

I have this, but the value of my cases is trash. So it REALLY depends on the value of your cases/how many you have.

How much are you bringing in EOY on this pay structure generally?

I just started at a firm with this structure so I’m curious as well. Does comp differ if the firm divides attorneys between lit and pre-lit? Lit obviously settles fewer, but does it average out?

Generally, the only cases you settle pre-lit tend to be smaller value. High valued cases almost always need to be litigated, and as such, those that handle case in lit should end up making a lot more money. Unless you are cranking out 5 pre lit settlements a week

Hi 🐠!

Im current at EY in a consulting group that does not focus on deals, but have completed few due diligence type engagements. We focus mostly on ODD (Operational Due Diligence) for private equity firms. I really want to make it into IB. I have an interview for a Valuation and Opinions Role. Would that help in transitioning in as an IB Analyst? I would have a substantial pay cut (100K to 85K - excluding bonus). My current experience has not been seen as valuable by recruiters.
