Date: March 23rd, 2017 2:07 PM Author: hyperventilating casino cuckoldry Am psyched. Not a litigator, so literally won't lift a finger, but after splitting origination with the litigator who will manage, will make an extra $100k in 2017.

Date: March 23rd, 2017 2:09 PM Author: hyperventilating casino cuckoldry Its a client that I do transactional work for, but not litigation (until now). I'm splitting 50/50. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3561953&forum_id=2#32898473) |

Date: March 23rd, 2017 2:14 PM Author: Poppy aggressive internal respiration location you are being overly generous then.
If it were a new client contact of yours where the only thing so far is this lit deal and you need the litigator to bring the client in, then 50/50 is appropriate.
If this is your ongoing client with a matter unrelated to your practice area, you should not have to split origination but the generous thing to do is throw 25% to the litigator.
Without being too greedy you want to keep enough control over origination so that when the client asks the litigator for tax advice, the litigator does not receive any origination for that and you control the split with the tax lawyer (if any). |

Date: March 23rd, 2017 2:16 PM Author: hyperventilating casino cuckoldry I probably am being a little too generous, but that's what we agreed to on a previous split. And the lit guy did help bring in the client for lit (I certainly couldn't sell us myself given how little I know about lit).
I would never share origination for anything other than lit. |

Should have tapped dat senior associate to handle it.
Could have had $200k. |

Date: March 23rd, 2017 2:12 PM Author: hyperventilating casino cuckoldry Probably wouldn't have gotten it if I hadn't sold the lit partner. I'd rather give the split and not worry about it anymore. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3561953&forum_id=2#32898495) |

Yes, I agree....people complain in the my firm about how lit mo's ride trannies, but they are all really good lawyers, so somehow we put up with it.
Best you can hope for is 23-24% in my firm, so not working with much. |

Date: March 23rd, 2017 6:41 PM Author: hyperventilating casino cuckoldry Sorry for the bump but just psyched about this.

I get 50% of the origination component, which is about about 24% of revenue (so about 12%)
about 46% of revenue goes to the equity partners doing the work
about 30% of revenue goes to overhead
No compensation committee. Its all just percentages. |
