Yall forgetting you sell legal services. Sell being the operative word, if not each one of you got charge out rate and do time sheets for what

Not a single post has addressed the value contributed point. So I'll repeat it - in this day and age, wtf does a lawyer do to justify the salary they draw. Why is the argument for more, and not less. Why isn't NQ pay $2,500
Have you even seen a contract before and the amount of paperwork in a transaction? This is besides the commercial astuteness you expect from hiring from the big 4. Even if you don’t think the legal sector should be on pace with inflation simply by virtue of it being a sales based (which is ridiculous ground), paying 5.6-6 is not proportionate to the work produced.

I just assumed that you were talking about corp work cause if you were referring to liti work you obviously don’t work in the legal sector.
