Hello! I am a 5th year associate in a major TX metro. My base is $150,000 and after this year’s bonus expect to earn $220,000. In 2022, I generated $2.1M in net fee for the firm. Is this on par with what other firm’s are paying? Is it more? Is it less? Is it just right?

My salary structure is different, and I practice in a small city on the East coast. I’ve been doing this for about the same amount of time. I’ll generate about $1.3 million in fees. I should gross between $180K - $210K this year.

Thank you for this information!

How are your bonuses determined?

It depends on the case, but anywhere from 1% to 10% of the firm’s net fee. It varies based upon whether I generated the case or the firm generated the case. Then it also varies based upon whether I was first or second chair. Probably 90% of my cases are firm generated and I first chaired all but one case this year. It’s easy for me to calculate, but I do have to keep track of each case.
