there is a constant topic of conversation both inside firms and at almost every conference. it is the age-old question of partner compensation and “how do you do it”. as our firm grew, we evolved from everyone is equal, to the “slip of paper” approach, to a more goal driven, performance based system. every firm is a little bit different but the issues surrounding how you split the pie are pretty consistent.
