At a firm with a PPP of $2 million, you'll find that some partners are making as much as $4.5 million while others may be making as low as $650k (new partner). It depends.

Date: July 1st, 2009 1:49 PM Author: Orange Private Investor what is the likelihood of this at firms with lower PPP. that is, and this is just an assumption, firms at the high end of PPP probably have similar partnership models and so there is great disparity in the high and low ends of actual equity partners' compensation. does this also hold true for firms with PPP of $1mill?

Date: July 1st, 2009 3:07 PM Author: Heady crystalline meetinghouse boiling water Tough to generalize. There are certainly firms with low PPP with very high spreads because of two-tier and/or eat-what-you-kill models. Alternatively, the very highest PPP V10 type firms tend to have lower spreads and are almost, if not entirely, fully lockstep. However, that's not true of some high PPP firms like Kirkland, Dechert or Cadwaladar.
The other issue is that PPP is not an accurate reflection of average take-home in a given year either because partners are required to leave reserves, fund capital calls, buy additional units, etc. |

Date: July 1st, 2009 3:23 PM Author: Heady crystalline meetinghouse boiling water Every partner owns a certain number of units or shares of the partnership, allocated among the partners based upon seniority, production, firm service, etc. Generally when a partner is allocated additional units or shares he or she has to buy the units or shares at that year's value.

Yes dipshits, not only do you have a less than 10% chance of making the cut, but it will likely be about ten years, you don't make millions right away, and you still work like a dog - the firm comes first.

Date: July 1st, 2009 7:13 PM Author: Lascivious carmine codepig orchestra pit Depends on the firm, and you can't really break it down by ranking/prestige. You can see a big spread between partners at firms like Skadden, S&C, and Dechert, while I think Cleary, Debevoise, and Cravath still have lockstep partnership.

Date: July 1st, 2009 8:00 PM Author: cream fighting internal respiration Lockstep is still usually broken down into 4 levels. At a firm with $2M PPP, a first year partner would likely make around $660k, 4-5th year partner around $1.34M, a partner who has been a partner for 9-10+ years would likely be right at the $2M PPP, and then you'd have a few head guys (possibly the named founders) who get around $2.5M.
