How to business litigators/transaction attys negotiate bonuses for work generated? Whats the rates? My partner does PI and I always dabble is some minor contract/transaction work and charge very little ($500-$1k) to do basic stuff (review contract give advice etc.). My firm let me handle 1 or 2 for 100% of the fee, but now he wants to have our same PI arrangement for the business matters (in PI matters I generate, I take home 33.33%). But, 33.33% of a $500 invoice sucks and literally makes me ..

Want to turn down the business but that hurts both of us. The partners do 0 work on the files and it verrrrry rarely costs them a single dime.

Thoughts?

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

Sanity check needed. We own a home we paid $280k for, 6 years ago. We've begun to outgrow it and are debating building on vs buying.

Building would probably be $350k, would take about 4 months, and would require us to move out temporarily (likely 50-75% of that time), but then we'd have *exactly* what we want. Buying would cost ~$650k (plus $59k in closing costs to sell and buy).

House is worth $400k if we do nothing; addition would likely double value.

What would you do? Build or buy?
