[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biggest draw I've ever seen.  Just wondering if its a trend or an anamoly. [/quote]

If you have to ask you clearly do not know the market. [/quote]

Guilty as charged!  If I did, I wouldn't be asking.  So what's the answer omniscient one?[/quote]

just calc the billable hours, if/how his rate changed over the year and if he's a litigator what case(s) was won or if he's transactional law what deals closed. 
then ask yourself if those clients, deals, cases are replicable next year or are a 1 in 10 yr occurrence.

really, start by asking him, you should have years ago. he should know his standing in the firm and in the market. or if it was carry-driven comp, not billable projects.[/quote]

I don't plan to ask.  He does not like to talk about it.  He's just a partner at a firm whose distribution fluctuates across a large range and in February it was crazy high.  I don't know the reason- I haven't heard and big ccase was one, although there are many at any given time. Time will tell if this is replicable- I haven't seen any eplies that this is across the board.  [/quote]

What a weird marriage. No one knows but him, OP. perhaps he doesn't want to all to you bc you're insufferable, as many on this thread have pointed out.[/quote]
