Private equity acquisitions of boutique law?

Run a boutique law firm in California. I keep getting email and LinkedIn solicitations as a potential purchase target by p/e firms. Seems very sketchy.

Honestly, I don’t get the upside for lawyers in boutique firms and I don’t get their angle given their limited due diligence. What’s this really all about?

Ps I’m not buying what they are supposedly selling for a whole host of reasons including the sketchiness.

Looking for atty to handle car rental co. Claim against a friend in Paris France. Rented from Enterprise in CA.

How do you handle billing disputes? Already feel like we’re a steal compared to other firms, but it’s the pits when clients kvetch about the bill after working hard on their matters. For five figure disputes, anyone recommend collections? Don’t really want to institute retainers, especially since it doesn’t seem common for our practice area.

Does anyone have any insight regarding compensation for the “of counsel” position? I’m specifically looking for insight from those in California. Thank you!

Advice for Of Counsel roles? I am of counsel at a firm where I can set my own rate and keep a percentage of collections, which varies slightly depending on whether the client is one I generated or not. I’m finding that a lot of my work is for firm clients where the lawyer negotiated a flat fee (and the hours worked are less, due to efficiency etc). What is the right way for me to be compensated in this scenario?

Anyone have recs for best tax law training resources?

Does anybody have a good guide or resource they can point to in regards to show clients how to organize their documents for our firm?

I work at a small, 3 lawyer firm. One of the lawyers is not barred in the state we practice. Because of this, the managing attorney has been having him draft motions and other legal documents and use my name and bar number and having me file them because I will have to appear in court for the matter. Is this normal? I am not provided time to review the materials before I file them so I end up working longer days because I am nervous to file something using my name and bar number.

The past two days I’ve spent to my entire day doing things that really can be done by a paralegal. So I hired a freelance para. Any tips to make this a success? What’s your tips to train and get your para up to speed?

Plaintiff side question - comp is base plus % of fees. Firm has non equity split % with associate working on case. This normal for a non equity partner? Normal associate comp is full % when working with an equity partner.
