|
Date: January 12th, 2021 5:00 PM Author: gromjoh It means you've been around too long to be called an associate without it being embarrassing but they don't want to give you equity. That's the cynical take.
Once in a blue moon you'll get an of counsel comp arrangement that is actually decent (e.g., 25% of revenue above 1,500 billables goes directly into your pocket + origination) but those are rare and tend to involve politically sensitive lateral hires that you don't want to place directly into the partnership but still want at the firm.
And then it's a landing place for older equity partners, which is fine, everyone acknowledges there's a life cycle to this. |

It's an at best neutral move and not something you congratulate people for unless you're just being polite. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4737754&forum_id=2#41739930) |

Those who aren't viewed as worthy of the Test will be pushed over into the Of Counsel group. If you pass the Test you become a Ringbearer and among those are the Sacred Five who, together, manage the business of the Firm. At the tail-end of your time as a Ringbearer if you've survived to your twenty-fifth year you may become an Of Counsel or, in very special instances, a Brother. This structure has been in place as long as I've been at the Firm, coming on my twelfth year. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4737754&forum_id=2#41740069) |

As noted above, more and more biglaw firms are using counsel as a landing space between senior associate and partner.

Date: January 13th, 2021 1:37 AM Author: ,..,,,,,,....,,,..., Some people quit within the year after making counsel because they see it as a slap in the face.
Some people retire as a counsel 30 years later.
Some people make partner 1-2 years later when someone else dies/retires/laterals out and the firm realizes that if they don't give equity they won't have a partner who does X or works regularly for client Y.
You have to guess which category the person falls into to give them the right response. If you aren't sure, assume they are in category 3 because that is the most flattering to them and they can correct subtly or not if you have missed the mark. |

Date: January 13th, 2021 12:05 PM Author: .,.,,...;.;,.,.,:,,:,...,:;:,...,:,.,.:..:.,:.::,. It’s crushing. Didn’t happen to me, but everyone who has stayed at a V10 from my law school is still a senior associate or an “of counsel,” and I’m 10+ years out of law school at a T20 school. Folks who went lower down the vault rankings mostly have fought it out and are now non-equity junior “partners.”
Your reaction depends on what your specific situation is. If you are told hang out here for a year or two and you can be put up for partner if the economy is still good, you may still hold out hope, though plenty of people in that situation (probably the majority) have been screwed over before.
If you are told you’re a great performer, but they don’t see business development potential and you can stick around as long as you want? That hurts, but most of the people affected by this saw it coming and they are introverts who just like doing deals or writing briefs. For what it is worth, it is almost impossible to make partner at another firm if you end up in that situation without almost immediately lateraling way down the Vault ladder (like 50+ spots). I knew someone from my V10 who was going to be counseled and this person made partner at a firm like Norton Rose/Reed Smith/Ballard Spahr like a month later. This person is now in a leadership position at that firm and makes more than he or she would have at the V10, lol.
This is a good example of why the business of law is so fucking stupid. They get rid of good performers who are making them a ton of money for essentially no reason. (Why fire a 10th year bringing in $2MM of revenue who costs you less than $600K in overhead? They are no different than the scores of service partners in biglaw except they were born too late and don’t even expect to be treated like partners/allowed to vote on things.) |

The answer there is that there's no reason not to. That money isn't lost, these people are just replaced because they are fungible. Clients don't really care that one worker bee got replaced by another. And if he was the relationship person for a major client then either 1. he would have left to that client before it got to this point, or 2. he would have made partner. |

Date: January 13th, 2021 12:22 PM Author: .,.,,...;.;,.,.,:,,:,...,:;:,...,:,.,.:..:.,:.::,. They generally are replaced by more junior associates who they bill out for less money. There is at least some revenue lost, and it is more stress handing stuff over to new people who don’t know what they are doing rather than having skilled counsel around who know how to run cases and avoid fuckups that could make you look bad with the client.
I still just don’t understand why they don’t keep good career people around who are not interested in making partnership. I think the conventional wisdom is that those people would later agitate for partnership or something, but now that partnership has become so much rarer for the V10, that seems really unlikely. (With partners already facing de-equitzation for having bad years, etc., no one wants to be a partner without a book of business these days, and the partners with books are taking an ever bigger share of the pie.) |

The reason goes back to my point which is that it makes little sense to keep some someone who is in a position where it makes sense to coast. Yes, that junior knows less and bills less per hour but will put in 60+ hours a week because they're still in the game In better times (decades ago) partners would go out of their way to set up people in their positions at clients and in return they would funnel work to them. At this point, they don't have the clout to do that. |

Date: January 13th, 2021 12:49 PM Author: gromjoh The answer to your question is increasingly they don't. We want these people to stick around for a long time. Up or out is dying and being replaced by "up and stuck." Super senior associates / service partners / of counsel juice the revenue and allow PPP to keep increasing. Plenty of partnerships have realized this and realized the old up or out approach wasn't working. The biggest downside is morale and signaling -- you need to keep these people motivated when they're never going to make equity and you also need to be somewhat opaque about the model to keep superstudy first years churning through the ranks despite the fact they're never going to make equity.

So in effect, I don't see how you eliminate up or out. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4737754&forum_id=2#41745548) |

Date: January 13th, 2021 1:27 PM Author: gromjoh The natural attrition at most biglaw firms is very, very strong. There may not be strictly enough spots to place every single last senior associate who wants to stay, but it's close. You're never going to get a top-heavy model because too many people just want out at some point, especially women.
Up or out was premised on the idea that good attorneys made equity and bad ones didn't and so you wanted to cleanse the firm of anyone not fit for the partnership because they were going to be a net negative for the business of the firm. If you were "out" in 1985 it was because there was something seriously wrong in some facet--personality, skills, conflicts &c. That just isn't the case anymore; the modern V25 equity model just can't (or won't) support the same "win rate" for movement into the equity partnership which means there are plenty of good attorneys who are profit sources and represent the firm just fine but are never going to get breakfast. It started to dawn on partnerships about 15 years ago that these people were a resource and that it was stupid to continue to push a model (up or out) that didn't fit the business realities of 21st century biglaw. |

Date: January 13th, 2021 12:53 PM Author: gromjoh I've seen people take the "of counsel" / "you're not going to make partner, but please stay forever" very differently depending on their career and life outlook. It kills the people who gunned hard for equity--you can see something snap in them and a lot of them wash out a few years after because they're disaffected. On the other hand, there are some bros (and increasingly women) who never really gunned hard for partnership and view making 400k-600k for the rest of their life in exchange for briefing / deposing / running deals at 2200 hours a year as a fine bargain.
