I’m on 7 right now, but two are just starting.

For m&a deals, I’m leading 5, but only 2 of them are moving with any real speed. Also have another deal floating around hoping to start auction in November that’ll get me busy right as these 2 deals close (hopefully). Been a busy summer

Small firm: boss, myself, paralegal. Paralegal’s family lends paralegal $ for a transaction. Paralegal pays it before other party holds up their end of deal. Paralegal needs $ because family needs it back & think she still has it since deal isn’t done. I let paralegal borrow money (cover my a** with documentation). First payment is weeks late and only made on demand. Month 2 not paid. Month 3 is overdue a few days. Should I file suit? Loop in my boss? Other options? It’s 2/3 my total savings.

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??
