    Hello all,

    Anyone know anything about becoming a partner in a legal firm - salaried or equity partner?

    How would it be different to being a regular employee? What are the pros and cons?

    Any info much appreciated.

    Are you currently a solicitor? A partner had equity in the business, they will have put their own money in. But generally they would invite someone to become a partner. I would imagine you couldn't just waltz in from the outside. But I suppose if you had enough money....

    Depends if its equity or salaried- Can vary greatly.

    A salaried partner is not really a partner at all. It is just a job description to justify higher fees.

    Ok, thanks. What about an equity partner?
