Firms with Long Term Counsel Program Forum

[Anonymous User]

Any firms that have well established long term counsel program? I.e. wouldn't have to negotiate it on a case by case basis? Especially in corporate practice.

Latham does, at least in bank finance but I think also in several other practice area.s

At this point, I would think almost every biglaw firm has a "Counsel" track for lawyers who will basically be considered permanent senior associates.

What is it that you are trying to achieve and why does negotiating it matter? There will be an element to negotiation with any lateral move- even at the associate level.

The original poster may be asking about negotiating compensation on legal matters "case by case" (essentially being brought in as a specialist when needed) rather than negotiating compensation for each attorney when joining a firm for a position "of counsel".
