The firm has 8-9 attorneys. The practice area is general liability and personaly injury defense. It is a civil litigation defense firm doing mostly insurance defense in LA/OC. Billable is 185 a month. For a 5th year associate, what would be the reasonable salary range? Thanks
Where is the firm located? You say that it is "doing mostly insurance defense in LA/OC" but that doesn’t mean that the firm is located in one of these counties.
If in IE, then $80-100,000. Sad, but true. If in OC, $90-100,000. If in LA, then approx $100-110,000….and this amount excludes any bonuses you may receive for achieving your billables.
