Not Vault. NLJ250 regional "BigLaw."

I don't think it's typical, either. But the numbers show the average non-equity partner making like 55% of PPP. This is surprising because my understanding is that it's not that hard to make non-equity partner here. It might well be that some non-equity (and soon-to-make-equity) bros are skewing the numbers by pulling down huge bonuses.

Yes to both.

Bonus range for non-equities ranges from de minimis to seven figures (with the latter obviously being rare and being the guys who are on deck to get promoted to equity).

I have no idea whether you make more than me. My bonus last year was significantly above market. This year it will be even more so.

Actually, our creditor side BK practice is better than yours. I would happily put our PE client list up against yours. Our M&A, capital markets (both debt and equity) and finance practices are massively better than yours. I know nothing about litigation except that we're a hell of a lot better than you in our primary market and Band 2 vs Band 3 in NY doesn't suggest much of a difference.

It's pretty difficult to be kicked out as a non-equity (really one of the major difference between non-equity and counsel). Not really a hard hours requirement, but that being said, you definitely need to continue being crucial to a major partner/practice group/client or you will find your way out.
