What is the best way to think about equity as a part of TC? I originally thought to take a risk adjusted value at exit and peanut buttered that number across years btwn now and exit but after reading the actual equity grant paperwork it seems like the equity is more like a lottery ticket. The equity is worth basically nothing until company sells, you can be terminated for any reason any moment before sale, and you have no real recourse because you agree to arbitration and a non compete.

Could be nothing, could be a lot. Assume the worst and hope for the best. Adjust risk higher

For equity, there is also a vesting schedule. You should read that section too

I recently started my own firm. We primarily do ID. I want to give our attorneys flexibility and a work life balance so I’m considering giving them a higher % of every hour billed/collected as the basis of their compensation rather than a set salary. This would eliminate any billing pressure and give attorneys the freedom to decide how much they want to work/earn. Anyone have any thoughts on whether this would be fair and/or a good idea?
