Those of you that have gone part time at a big law form or that went senior counsel rather than partner track, what is your comp like? I genuinely have no interest in making partner. I love my work, but I’d also love to have more time back. I’m just curious what it is like for you all financially. Thanks!

Counsel at my firm start at 1.5x of a senior associates pay. There is some origination credit but not sure how much.

Global firm, 2000+ lawyers, usually pay just at market.

Counsels at my big law firm make high 200s, with a “1700” billable hour requirement. It’s a crap deal.

What makes you say it’s a crap deal? High 200s for 1700 billables sounds great.

My boss (atty) is so disorganized! I’ve been with him 6 months and he’s having a hard time delegating, sharing info and managing deadlines. I’ve organized the caseload to manage the deadlines. He says he wants me to help with discovery but when I offer to start on one, he says he needs to do it. (Since he might have to present as evidence) When I give him deadlines and ask for the docs he says he’ll get to it. It’s a small 1 man firm, and I’m the first assistant besides his wife.
