Came across a job opportunity at a real estate lit firm, landlord tenant issues primarily. I am very happy with my current ID firm aside from pay, but I’m up for my first raise in March. I get interesting cases and most of the partners I work with are great. This new position would be a $25k salary increase (maybe more) and I have heard work life balance there is great. My current billables are 2000 which I don’t love. Any thoughts?

This seems like an easy choice.

It’s a very hard choice! Lol landlord/tenant sounds incredibly boring and I’m being very well mentored where I’m at currently, majority of the partners are really great to work with and they love me.

I’ve only handled landlord tenant cases when absolutely necessary. I would say it really depends on if you’re landlord or tenant side and who your clients are (like property management companies, etc.). I personally didn’t like LT at all and found that area of law to be chaos (I’m in ID as well). I would really think about the new firm and what clients you would have there and make the decision based on that. Also, do you think your earning potential will be greater where you are, or at the new place? That would be a factor I would consider. 25k to me is incentive to move on.

Thanks so much this is super helpful! I’m getting cases I enjoy more and more so I’m very hesitant to leave if I might be bored or dislike LT or the firm. Looks like I have some research to do and a lot to think about.

Additional Posts in Insurance Litigation

If an insurer wrongly denies coverage for a property loss and business interruption claim, can the insurer still rely on the policy provisions to limit the type and extent of the recoverable damages?

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.

What are all of you second and third year ID attorneys making? 🤔

I am inquiring about a patient account coordinators salary. It seems I am asking way above average salary due to current position and experience I bring as well as education. Can someone give a number for this position and suggestions for negotiating pay to make what I’m worth.

My firm typically does insurance defense, but we take plaintiffs cases here and there. Is it typical that work done by associates on contingency cases isn’t counted toward their billable hour requirements unless and until we receive our fee on the case? This is my first experience with this, but it’s hard for me to reach my hours as is, without spending time on non billable cases like this with no assurance that I’ll see billable credit at the end.
