Does anyone have an idea of what your income looks like as a partner in big law? Curious about both equity and non equity.

If you just want a range, it’s something like $350K base maybe $500K all in for a first year partner. Equity is higher than that and up to a $1MM (and obviously multiples more for rainmakers).

Canadian firms are notoriously cagey about comp so I’m sure all the big firms are all over the place for what the details are.

My understanding is that a first year NEP at a Seven Sister firm makes around 400k all in.

What are mid level corporate associates billing this year? Asking because I’m moving to Canada from US big law in a few months, and want to know if I’ll still be drowning in work. Thank you!

Firms love to announce their new hires but it is nearly impossible to figure out which firms are losing people in droves during the “great resignation.” Any news? I will start. BLG and litigation. Many big names have left.

How difficult would it be for a well-credentialed US lawyer (approx 7 YOE) to qualify and practice in Toronto? I’m a Canadian (from AB) who went to law school in the US (top 3 school), practiced for 4 years at a strong Wall St firm, and now has been in-house as a corporate generalist for a couple years. I want to move back to Canada permanently, and have just kicked off the NCA process, but will I have any realistic prospects of having a successful legal career, or am I too far along?

I’m a junior litigation lawyer based in Windsor looking to lateral to corporate big law. I have been doing commercial litigation, tax litigation, and tax planning.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.
