Would you take this job? 5 years of experience. 120k base, 5% of the fee on non-originated cases, 1/3 of the fee on cases you bring in, full remote, high cost of living area. Told it’ll be 100-120 cases, with most in litigation, average case value $70k.

What percentage of cases settle and on what timeline?

I believe it depends. Ultimately I suppose they will all settle, with higher value cases taking longer

What’re the attorney’s fees that the 5% is based off of? I’m assuming litigation is anywhere between 40-45%?

like

Thats a little different then. If the firm is getting 100-120 cases at an average value of 70k, then you’ll make around 116-140k from the 5% commission since all of the cases will be yours.

236-260k/year is a great income, but if you want the “big” PI checks that make PI attractive, then put all your focus on building a book. Networking events, becoming friends with treaters, local state bar events will all help.

That’s a large case list. Are all of those MVA cases?

If these were mostly wreck cases, I would say you have a fair offer. A lot of premise liability cases go to litigation. You may want to increase your base or increase your percentage above 5%.

I agree networking will be crucial for this position.

You will definitely want to network as much as you can to bring in your own cases as thats obviously going to be how you make the most money but that sounds like a fair offer to me based on what you said.

Hi Fishes, Y.O.E 7.5+ years. Tata Consultancy TCS is offering 25LPA including variable pay and everything. So just 15% increment on my current salary since they mentioned I am leaving my current organization within 1 year.

They mentioned 8-12% is VP plus 80k from that salary is paid at the end of each year. Is it a good enough salary for 7.5+ yoe candidate. Also any heads up for the things I should look out for will be really helpful.

Hello All,
I am finishing up my second year of practice as a lawyer. I transitioned to plaintiffs pi work from a boutique commercial litigation firm. I like the work and not having to bill. The issue I am having is managing volume. I have about 150 active files some pre-lit and the rest are in litigation. Cases range in value from very small to low six figures. I also take the driver seat for the grunt work on the firms bigger cases which are at or near 7 figure value. I constantly feel (cont.)

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.
