Equity Partner (Law Firm)

Law & Security

As an equity partner, you are a co-owner of a law firm and share in the business profits. You are responsible for large mandates, acquire clients, manage salaried lawyers and bear entrepreneurial risk. Unlike a salaried lawyer, you do not earn a salary, but a share of the profits - with a correspondingly high but fluctuating income.
