What is the average hourly rate for a mid-level associate attorney doing independent contract work for a small law firm in one of the major cities in Florida. The work would entail substantive work on a few different cases. This would NOT be doc review type work.

That would be extremely low. That rate would be a little less than what doc reviews are paying. The role I'm considering would be doing the exact same work as a full time associate, just as an independent contractor.

DM me, I’ll tell you everything I saw at the firm I left.

smart

It’s OK, I’m lousy and old but apparently I tell great stories

Idk $200/hr

I’ve seen of counsel rates around $130 per hour. In my experience, it’s not really worth it because you can do the same work for a client directly and charge at least $400 per hour.
