Small firm, less than 20 partners. Just became a full partner recently.

The number of "off the record" belittling comments about other partners and other catty shit is obnoxious. I almost wish I was just a regular worker bee.

Pretty hard to have a sizable group of partners working together at a law firm for 10+ years without lots of them hating each other.

One of the partners I work with a lot talks shit about ~80% of the other partners in our office. And I don't even really get along all that well with the guy. Maybe I should tape him talking shit and blackmail him

So ~1.2M in capital is producing $15M+ in gross revenues per year? Seems like flame.

more like $18-20mm in gross revenue.

Most partners have larger capital accounts than I do, but yeah, total is like $1.2-5mm.

We are very lean. I just learned today that the desk I sit at was literally purchased in 1982...other than new carpet and a refresh of the elevator bank, we are very frugal (ie: cheap).

Just little stuff. One guy thinks another has bad judgment, another guys thinks some other guy is lazy and unambitious, yada yada.

Maybe "hate" is a strong word, it is just catty like junior high girls.

not at a law firm but any type of partnership/llc set up with over a certain number of people and there is a lot of infighting, particularly when people think some don't deserve a certain equity percentage.

Lowest paid partner makes around $420k normally, avg PPP is $615k this year (which is about $50k lower than avg), and highest makes about $1.4mm normally. Maybe it is shitlaw, not sure.

most partners are probably billing about 1600-1900 hours, with one or two outliers billing 2100+ who are just crazy workers.

You don't "have" to originate. There are a number of partners who rely on others in large part and probably only brought in 20% of their hours.

I will probably originate about $400-500k myself this year from various things, but I'm also very important to one of our largest clients, so that makes me valuable even without crazy originations.
