Date: April 22nd, 2018 9:24 PM Author: lake party of the first part There is no minimum billables and you can work from home. You can make a ton of money -- you get to keep approx. 80% of work you bring in and approx. 40% of work that you bill on -- and you set your own billable rate. Can someone explain to me why this isn't a great gig?
Also you get 2 percent of anyone's book that you recruit per year in perpetuity. |

Date: April 22nd, 2018 9:49 PM Author: Bright meetinghouse Probably ridiculous conflict issues, burning any future opportunities, lack of meaningful legal support on ancillary questions. Also, what does it take to get in? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3956845&forum_id=2#35897100) |

Date: April 22nd, 2018 9:58 PM Author: lake party of the first part You need to be a 7th year or higher at an AM law 200 firm.
Fisher will be AM law 200 very soon.
This is not a sponsored post. I'm just very curious why I had never heard of this. |

Date: April 22nd, 2018 9:59 PM Author: lake party of the first part What are the conflict issues? Why does it preclude future opportunities? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3956845&forum_id=2#35897150) |

Date: April 23rd, 2018 12:11 AM Author: Bright meetinghouse Conflict issues because it's just a bunch of people who broke away individually from random groups. No framework (or presumably, less of a framework) to manage conflicts cohesively across the firm. Hard to find work elsewhere because it will be seen as a fake firm.

Date: April 23rd, 2018 3:33 AM Author: turquoise library From what I can tell, it's eat-what-you-kill work-from-home law.
What's the point of the firm? Marketing? Health insurance? |
|
Date: April 23rd, 2018 7:18 AM Author: outnumbered menage boistinker Probably more of the former. I actually think it would help with the kind of client who thinks they're too good for a solo or two-man firm, but isn't sophisticated enough to realize that Fisher Broyles is just a collection of solos or two-man firms.
It's actually a clever business model. Managing conflicts and malpractice risk are the tough parts. |

Date: April 23rd, 2018 7:50 AM Author: outnumbered menage boistinker I think so. Lots of businesses are big enough to hire a lawyer at least semi-regularly, but are run by a guy with a BS in construction management from the local directional state university. That's probably your target audience here. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3956845&forum_id=2#35898873) |
|
Date: April 23rd, 2018 9:02 AM Author: Bright meetinghouse Makes sense though, inasmuch as the firm presumably screens for a certain degree of competence and marketability. It's not just rebranding a bunch of DUI shitlawyer, it could also be a way of collecting a bunch of qualified solos with subject matter experience.
