Featured Job Survey: Got Clients?

By  
on

Yesterday, we discovered that 38% of associates who cancelled plans to work had done so at the request of a client. We also received an interesting suggestion from a tipster:

I wanted to suggest a survey of what law firms pay in bonuses for business brought to the firm. For instance, I know that Chadbourne pays 5% up to a certain amount and I have heard that Blank Rome pays 10%. I know that this might not concern that many associates but it’d be interesting to see how firms compare in terms of percentage, minimum amount billed, bonus ceiling etc.

If your firm pays bonuses for bringing in clients, please share your knowledge in the comments. We previously did an open thread on this, but that was several months ago.
In the meantime, today’s ATL / Lateral Link survey focuses on how much client contact you’re getting, and how your firms are supporting you.
Update: This survey is now closed. Click here for the results.
On a completely unrelated note, some of you are still asking who I am in the comments, although without quite the photo-craving, Facebook-inviting, hyphen-correcting enthusiasm as Dan Slater gets. So, here’s a bit about that from a previous post:

In the meantime, at least one of you noticed that I am not Dave Lat. I’m actually Justin Bernold, a Director in Lateral Link’s Boston office. I’m also a friend (and fan) of Dave’s from college and the author of, among other things, the Associate Pirate (Arr is for Resume!) blog.
