[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are in a V100 firm and bring in between $3-4 million a year how much would you expect to be paid? [/quote]

DH has been with a V20 firm for five years since graduating from Stanford with a J.D. / Ph.D. combo. Started as an associate based in San Francisco making $250K base + $50K bonus, billing about 2000 hours per year. By year 3, DH was offered a non-equity partnership position making about $475K base + $190K bonus but with billing down to about 1500 hours on much higher profile clients. At year 5, DH is now an equity partner with a substantial book of business and has relocated with his firm to D.C. The buy-in to equity, relocation expenses, and country club skip-the-line membership to Congressional was waived as part of his prior year bonus and we’re now looking at an anticipated total compensation of about $1.8M in 2025. His billable hours are down to about 1200 this year, but he’s also bringing in nearly $9M, mostly IP law representation for high-end corporate clients in AI and tech.

Hope this helps, OP![/quote]

Y’all get on here and write anything [/quote]

For an equity partner at a top firm, that comp sounds low after 5 years as a partner.[/quote]
