was made (non-equity) partner a few years ago. have brought in pretty decent and growing business, but admittedly nothing like a true rainmaker. have continued billing like a maniacal gunner senior associate the whole time. the managing partner told me this was a “move to limit any potential future liability [of mine] and further protect [my] assets.” does this make sense or was he just trying to “sell” me on the idea? i think that answer kind of makes me seem alpha, but idk.

No. It doesn’t. A non-equity “partner” is already the same thing as a “counsel.” All the change would men and that you get less respect and less ability to attract business (and maybe less pay).

Don't listen to these people they don't know shit and apparently weren't around for ITE 1. There are serious issues in every law firm bankruptcy re how to treat nonequity "partners" and it's usually litigated. See my post below.

In theory it could. OTOH he's a managing partner of a law firm so he probably lies as easily as he breathes and may have an ulterior motive that you evidently haven't thought of yet.

After Heller blew up a there were major issues re whether nonequity partners might owe mad $$, and lots of recently promoted partners got hosed. I think the bankruptcy court ruled that nonequity partners were still "owners" for some stupid reason, as stated in this article: https://www.reuters.com/article/usa-employment-lawfirm-idUSL1N1HJ1WS
