I’m thinking of leaving my insurance defense firm and opening my own practice the beginning of next year. What is a reasonable hourly rate/flat fee for estate planning or probate litigation? My view is so distorted because insurance defense rates are a race to the bottom in order to compete for business. So I do not want to undersell myself if that makes sense.

How many years experience and how big a city? I’d say minimums are $2500 for basic estate plans and $300/hr for litigation, but varies based on the criteria I noted.

It’ll be five years in November and I’m in the Bay Area.

Do you have any experience with trusts and estates work?

Be careful with flat fees. You have to do only basic plans and a high volume for this to be smart.

What would be a typical salary for a junior in house counsel role (3 yoe) at a publicly traded company in a secondary market (think Austin, Tampa, Charlotte)? I’m having a really hard time finding what a reasonable range would be. Most positions I’m applying to require desired salary in the application, and the truth is I’d accept anything north of 125k but don’t want to undersell myself and take a bigger cut than necessary coming from biglaw.

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
