At my firm there is no “commission “ but we pay above big law salaries across the board with discretionary bonuses.

190k starting. First 5 years are close to lockstep with NYC. People who are good stick around and end up making 500-650 at around year 7-8. It is a high intensity job, and about 60% of new starts do not make it 3 years.

5-10%

At 8 years out I was 110k base with 3% commission and finished at $210k, now I’m managing 4 attorneys at the same firm with commission based on how everyone else does

In house or M&A/Real Estate Transactional are likely the end goal but want to get the litigation out of me first.

Hello All,

The issue I am having is managing volume. I have about 150 active files some pre-lit and the rest are in litigation. Cases range in value from very small to low six figures. I also take the driver seat for the grunt work on the firms bigger cases which are at or near 7 figure value. I constantly feel (cont.)
