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.

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).

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

I am a personal injury defense attorney and I’ve never done plaintiff’s work. I have a case where I suspect the plaintiff is malingering and exaggerating his injuries. The plaintiffs attorney has sent me multiple demands for $3 million dollars and basically begged me to respond with some offer. I’ve told him the truth - my client has no interest in trying to settle if his demand remains about twenty times higher than the actual worst case (for us) jury verdict. More in comments...

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
