[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My takeaway here is that OP understands everything about her DH's position except that it's not at a BigLaw shop.  He's an income partner that they may or may not care if he ever makes equity at a small law firm that is not on the Cravath scale.  He has some kind of expertise that they use to bring in work (CLE presentations, etc.) but the equity partners keep it for themselves because the pie is not big.  It doesn't sound like a terrible gig but he may want to shop his book around since so much of his work is getting conflicted out at this firm.  Even coming on as counsel in a BigLaw firm would be a raise.[/quote]

I tend to agree.  I can't imagine any "income partner" in Biglaw getting paid so little money AND having no work sent their way.  It's not the model, that's for sure.  OP's husband has to be at a smaller shop.

OP, how big is your husband's law firm?  How many lawyers in how many cities?  You can tell us that without revealing the name of the firm.[/quote]
