Explain the vesting requirement?
Employees receive credit for each year worked at the firm. Contributions are made on a separate account. If employee terminates employment prior to six years of employment, employee is only able to receive a portion of account based on vested %:
Less than 2y - 0%; 2y - 20%; 3y - 40%; 4y - 60%; 5y - 80%; 6y - 100%

So in your example, you’ll get the full $25K “earned” in year 1 at the end of year 7, the full $35K earned in years 2 at the end of year 8, etc … That’s both insane and genius (from the law firm’s perspective). Having said that $155K for a second year in PI isn’t bad at all. If you want to explore your options feel free to DM me. I run a large PI firm in SoCal.

It’s smart from a law firm perspective and with a decent base and bonus, reasonably fair.
over compensation is actually pretty solid. it’s not crazy money but plaintiff PI notoriously starts lower than most, with unlimited upside potential. i make about the same in NJ
Pretty solid starting base for a PI firm; I’ve seen starting salaries in SoCal generally ranging from 55-75k base, so 100k is pretty damn good.
Do you have a separate agreement for business you bring in, or does it get counted towards your overall net profit sharing?
