Lateral hires with more than eight years of practice experience typically fall into two categories: counsel or income partner.
Counsel compensation consists of the following components:
- An initial base salary, determined by billing rate and annual target for personal productivity
- This target addresses the possibility for collection delay in the lateral transition
- Bonuses recognizing efforts in two categories:
- A personal production component, reflecting receipts in excess of the target
- A business development component, reflecting work performed for clients for which you are the billing attorney
Income partner consists of the following components:
- A flat salary/monthly draw determined by billing rate with a personal fee receipt expectation
- Bonuses recognizing efforts in two ways:
- A bonus based on specific criteria set forth annually
- A discretionary bonus dependent on personal production and business development
