Depends on the practice area and YOE. In ID, I've seen associates comfortable with a caseload between 35 and 65 cases. In PI, I've seen associates with way more than that being comfortable with their capacity.

The attorney I works for usually has anywhere from 120-150 cases at a given time. That being said I think he performs better when we are right around the 100 mark. Anymore than that can get a bit chaotic.

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??

Hi everyone - I'm contemplating an offer from a large PI firm. I'm a little more than halfway through completing my 2nd year of practice, and I'm currently at a small firm with a low salary that's just no longer cutting it.

The offer from the large firm is for a pre-suit position, base salary of $100K - is this salary pretty standard for this kind of position?

Any insight is appreciated, thank you!!
