Compensation in the small law sector often lacks the standardization and transparency found in Biglaw. While associates at larger firms might easily know the market rate for their positions, this is not always true for attorneys working in smaller practices. To address this issue, Above the Law publishes a compensation report specifically for solo practitioners and lawyers at small firms.
The upcoming 2024 update of this report aims to compile comprehensive compensation data for lawyers at firms with 50 or fewer attorneys. With minimal industry benchmarks and disclosure, such data can be critical in helping small firm lawyers navigate their career and financial decisions more effectively.
If you are a lawyer at a smaller firm, you can contribute to this effort by participating in a brief and confidential survey that can be found here. The more responses collected, the more informative and useful the final report will be for the legal community.
