How do other PI firms handle pay and pay structure for their lawyers? I’m a solo and will be hiring a new lawyer soon and want to make sure I do it right so they stay long term.

Thanks A1

Some will do straight salary, some commission only, and some a combination of both.

If you’re wanting someone to stay long, a reasonable base plus commission and good work culture is things I’ve found most important from working with solos and small firms

I’m in a southern metro area (think Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville size). What is competitive base? What kind of commission is common?

I am straight salary with a small bonus once the firm hit the yearly the revenue target. Then I get a year end bigger bonus based on how much the firm made for the year. Salary is predictable so that’s nice but a bit lower. That regularity is helpful but it’s also odd having a third of my income for the year come in December with that bonus.

Red flag, but I made 250k as a second year associate. I can overlook the lack of transparency for a while.

Hey guys! So yesterday, I was in the running for 2 positions in the same division at Goldman Sachs, got invited yesterday to go for a 3rd position after they submitted my HireVue, all of this is in the Salt Lake City office. They came back to me shortly after that saying they were inviting me to a superday next week for all 3 positions. If anyone knows what the next steps are, I’d appreciate any info or insight. Just looking to see what the chances of getting an offer or anything like that.

I am reaching out to you all and am looking forward to break into Investment Banking from Consulting. Applied to Goldman Sachs via a referral but my resume is stuck after HireVue.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
