Compensation Plan

At Pacific Northwest Family Law, we believe that your hard work should be rewarded. Thats why weve implemented a unique compensation plan that truly reflects your worth. Our compensation plan is similar to how partners are paid. You receive a percentage of the revenue you bring to the firm.

This means that the more productive you are, the more you earn. Its a simple and transparent system that directly ties your income to your effort and dedication. This program is especially beneficial for hard-working attorneys who may feel underpaid at other firms.

We require 1500 hours a year billed and collected. You can make partner at our firm hitting that number. Above 1500 yours you receive an additional percentages because we believe that if you are exceeding the minimum you deserve to be paid. With us, your income potential is in your hands.

No doubt some reading this will have the initial impression that our plan is much less secure and predictable than a traditional salary. That simply is not true. Our plan is predictable because we have plenty of clients and plenty of work. If you predictably work, you are predictably paid, and you are paid what you are worth. In a traditional salary, if you don't do the work, or if you do not work hard, you get paid but not for long. No business is going to take a loss, even if it is the business's fault that there isn't enough work. Not only is a salary not predictable, but businesses paying salaries are much more eager to downsize when times are tough. The flipside is that a salary means you get the salary, even if you work exceptionally hard. The business gets the benefit, not you. In our plan, our most productive attorneys make the most money, and are paid at the top of the market. Even our less productive attorneys have more job security and better pay than most salaried attorneys in the area.

Partnership and Firm Leadership Opportunities

We have a defined, objective partnership track that requires 2 years with the firm and at least 5 years experience. If you come to us with more experience, we are willing to negotiate requirements for partnership.

We also have numerous leadership roles within the firm like managing offices and practice areas that bring additional responsibilities and rewards. We are always looking for leaders, and if you have the aptitude and the experience necessary, you will be on the fast track to leadership. You will receive instruction and direction as you lead the team to reach their potential, help make hiring decisions, and promote firm culture. Leaders are few and far between, but we will work with you if you are interested. Leadership brings with it additional compensation opportunities.
