The Best Way to Get a Raise . . . is often to change jobs. What we hear most often from partners who have gotten this far is that they either feel their firm’s compensation has not been able to keep up with the market, or that it’s not kept up with their relative contribution to the firm. Some say their comp is lower than they’d like because, it seems, certain high-flyers in the firm take a disproportionate share; ;thers feel they are carrying lower performers. Some partners have the unfortunate perception that both are transpiring at the same time.
Let Us Value Your Practice Now. One of the greatest services we provide to partners is a true, custom market evaluation of what their practice is worth. Are you being paid as much as the market will support? How can you find out? We can, and we are experts at maximizing the number. Among law firm partners it’s still true that the best way to command a raise is often to change firms. (Read why you should never accept a counter-offer).
Find the Platform that Lets You Take Off. Overall, compensation is rarely the number-one issue we hear from partners. Usually, they are concerned that their current firm is not the right platform to maximize the leverage and ROI of their particular practice, skills, and talents. In some cases, partners’ practices may suffer from conflicts of interests with the firm’s other clients. There’s a way to remedy all of this.
Employing decades of experience in the legal industry, Charles River Recruiting works with you to identify the firms you find most attractive—and to surface opportunities of which you might not otherwise be aware. We perform no-names reconnaissance on your behalf, walk you through the interview process, and provide actionable feedback based on our constant communications with law firms and law firm partners. We also serve as an indispensable resource during the negotiation phase of the placement process.
If you are not yet ready to make a change but still wish to assess the market for your practice, Charles River Recruiting is pleased to provide guidance. We are always available to serve as your sounding board even if you determine that your best option is to remain at your current firm.
