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).

I would never share origination for anything other than lit.

Could have had $200k.

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.

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.
