Is there a general standard of rule of thumb for associate comp outside of biglaw’s fixed scale? E.g., x% of expected billings, or y% of a contingency fee goes to associate bonuses? How do things work at your small-law firm?

What’s the range for a CVS Senior Manager role? Recruiter mentioned 135k but that seems low

Partners. If your law firm is paying 60k below market in the wild corporate environment we are in, what would you do and say to the comp committee come those Q4 discussions, I am a junior associate and have not really proved a whole lot but I do want to leverage the market if I can. Thank you all so much.

Recruiter from Amazon reached out for a non-technical Sr. Program Manager role and asked what my desired comp was. I said 200k total comp. Was that a reasonable figure? I have 5 YOE, no MBA. 200k is what I am making at my current firm

Recently (9 months) started a comms role at a major company but the work/duties have been
very minimal and I feel like I'm wasting my
time. My old job (local government),
reached out to offer a Assistant Director
role but pay is roughly the same i'm at
now. Is it smart to leave the new major
company I'm currently at or should I go
back to my former company?

Stop thinking you can’t pivot.

Stop thinking it’s too late.

Every time I hear a request to create a GTM plan my eyes cross. It seems everyone is asking for different things when they use that term. Any go bys or examples you can link or send my way? Thanks so much.

Has anybody opened a residential real estate law firm? What are the margins and hours like? Thanks!

Hi. I’m in need of advice and encouragement. I’m currently working as a public defender(2nd year) but I would love to pursue a solo private practice. I would like to leave the public defender because I am ready to make more money and I am no longer feeling the fulfillment I once felt. I have a family and work-life balance is a priority. What is a good way to gain experience in other areas of law as a solo practitioner? What areas of law are best for maintaining a work-life balance?

I’m close to making partner, but need to add about $150k ish to my book to really push me over the hump. I have a strong book already but feel for some reason my momentum has stalled over the last 6 months or so. What do you all do that you find really helps build your book, in addition to networking?

For solo and small law firm owners, I am curious, if you care to share anonymously, when you opened your firm and what kind of revenue you are running this year? I want to just get an idea of what is average or common.

Finishing up my first year of big law, thinking of starting my own practice while I work at my current position. Thinking that in a few months, I’ll concretely work solely for my own practice full-time. How difficult is it to gain clients (mainly PI and civil lit)? My mentor also offered me to be an off counsel while I’m working at my current job so that I can refer cases for a cut, would there be an ethical issue? FYI my firm does unrelated law to PI and doesn’t forbid doing extra work.

I’ve been at a small law firm for a year and eight months, and have been an attorney for one year. By small I mean, it’s me and another attorney (I’m the paralegal and law clerk as well). I don’t plan on sticking around, and am actively seeking new employment. Should I ask for a raise even though a raise wouldn’t make me stay? I’m in the San Diego area, I get paid $37 an hour, no benefits, but I get to work from home two days (I commute 104 miles total when I go into the office).

Has anyone used a coaching service for their firm? If so, any recommendations?

I’m an associate attorney at a mid-size family law practice. (5 attorneys, 3 support staff). I’ve been here for 3 years and just asked for a raise to $130k from $90k. My annual billable target is 1400. However, since I’ve been here I’ve barely broken 1000 despite working my ass off. I bill out at $375. They told me no more raises unless I start taking my own cases. Now they just hired a new associate and are paying him $170k and he takes his own cases. Am I being unreasonable asking for $130k?

How do you deal with bad Google reviews? In my case, it's an angry beneficiary, not even my client.

I am in my first year of practice and am working at a small firm with three partners. They have me starting off doing family law but none of them have practiced family law. I find myself really struggling to figure things out blindly and have to go to the partners frequently for insight. How much question-asking is too much question-asking?

I want to hire a contract attorney to assist in my family law practice area. Do you have experience with hiring contract attorneys? How did that work out? How did you pay them?

I have a general practice but I want to develop a niche and focus on that. Has anyone made that transition? Any advice on identifying, training, and shifting to that?

New attorney looking for some wisdom: how do we know what motions can be submitted to the judge with a proposed order, and which motions will need to be set for hearing?

I am 38 and recently relocated to Charlotte, NC. Been practicing for 2 years with my own firm in CA and was hoping to join a firm in the estate planning/real estate space to get more familiar with the marketplace out here. Seems like firms in that space want someone with much more experience (3-5 years) or are not hiring. When would it be time to throw in the towel and start my own practice out here? Was hoping to join a firm where I could make a community out here but prospects look bleak.

I am evaluating an opportunity to join a small firm (4 attorneys plus staff) as an associate but not on salary. Rather, I’d keep a portion of the firm’s collections on matters I work on, and I can choose my rate for my own clients (and would give a portion of those collections back to the firm). Sounds like in time I’d be able to participate in profit sharing program. Curious if others have worked in a similar situation and what pointers you have.
