[quote=Anonymous][quote]If some big lawyers in DC or NYC offer you that arrangement tomorrow, would you agree to that? How do you think you can enforce him for failing to pay?

Depending on the terms, how well I knew and trusted the lawyers, and other factors, I might take the arrangement. I am a tax attorney, and we often do contingent fee work. Often, we do not see a dime until the case is settled and the client is paid. And by arrangement, I mean "you will not get paid the $2 million until after we win or settle the case." I thought she went to work (and kept working) because he was always close to the big payday he needed to pay her and she finally gave up.

In your second sentence, I think you mean how would I force them to pay. If I made a mistake and the big lawyers in DC or NYC are broke, or if they would rather litigate an employment agreement than pay under it, there would not be much I could do right away (other than sue as she did.)

However, that is not much different from my current firm's engagement agreements with many clients. Our firm has about 50 lawyers, and if one of our Fortune 10 clients told us they were not going to pay and to STFU, we really could not do much. Their legal departments are huge and could easily bury us. The best we could do then is try voodoo and the like (which I would not be above.)
