25%. If I settle the case in a short amount of time then more.
40%
Depends on the firm. I’m work at a firm that heavily advertises and we get enough cases from that. They actually need to approve associate referrals because they don’t really want us bringing run of the mill soft tissue (or worse, small damages case with so so liability) because the firm gets enough of those on their own without having to pay higher originating commissions. If they approve the case they pay 35%. But my point is that some firms need those referrals more than others.
45%
I get 1/3. But if they’re paying you a higher than average base, you may get some pushback so I’d also factor that in.
Depends on what year you are.
It depends on the recovery. If one of my associates brought in a case with fees over 100k and substantially worked on the case, I would go 50/50. I stair-stepped it down to 10% for minor soft tissue cases. Otherwise, that associate knows they could refer it out and get 50% without much work on it at all. (Although a written fee split disclosure and written professional responsibility requirements may apply).
