Income partner comp lower V100 Forum

At my V50, if you're in the highest tier, you'll make $375k base, $175k bonus and $10k 401(k) contribution. But I know if you're in the lowest tier, you're making less than an 8th year associate.

Husch Blackwell falls in the "lower V100" type category, and on NALP they say their associates billed 1740 in 2018 and 1752 in 2019. Based on that alone, I can guess that being a non-equity partner at HB or a similar firm would be considerably better than being an associate at a typical V50, let alone V5/10.

Kirkland’s average hours metric is like 1930 annually. So go ahead and add a few hundred for what I would consider a true average after parental leave and stub years etc. are excluded.

How many hours do you think you and your junior partners bill on average each year (as partners)? A “typical range” is fine, too. Just curious. And is this NYC or elsewhere?

Do income partners at K&E or any other firm always have to pay 100% of their health and welfare plan premiums? Seems rough if you make income partner at year six and you're making the same as a sixth year associate at another firm, except having to cover double the H&W premiums.
