High ball them and wait for their response, then negotiate from there. For me, my employer's response was a bracket, which I continued to negotiate outside of. Eventually got their highest offer of the bracket, which is fine. Current salary is much high than my last position. Lawyers respect it (and you) when you advocate for your worth. Idk your situation or what staff you'll be joining, but aim high! Really depends on the industry. Staff attorney for insurance? Start high. Staff attorney for a local non profit? This method may not be best.
