In my experience, companies will get an in-house lawyer mostly doing real estate when they have around a couple hundred leases. Companies that have a thousand or more leases will have a few real estate lawyers.

Yes.

And fighting about whether revenue-based rent is being calculated correctly.

And fighting about signage.

And fighting about some poorly drafted extension option.

And fighting about whether some shady landlord is trying to sneak his S-class and capital improvements into the common area maintenance charges.

But a lot of the work is done by real estate paralegals.

Oh, you think that roof should be amortized over 10 years? Fuck you buddy!

The number 1 shitty trick is having a modified gross lease where only increases are charged. However during year 1, the base year, half the building is empty and insurance and management fees are really low to reflect that.

the bill has been outstanding since October and they have ignored a few calls. Mostly we point out the very lengthy arbitration clause included in the engagement letter and give them 30 more days to pay.

If they arent a great client (there clowns arent - $50K in bills from 2014 and they just ignored the work from last year) we will sue them.

we are pretty insistent on getting the collection fees collected if it comes to that. I am sure its in the engagement letter and if we end up going to arbitration we get that too.

I keep getting calls from Kirkland to make me a fake partner. Gibson Dunn too - not sure what type of non-equity partner track they have, or if that shot dried up after I made partner.

Either way, I have a minimal book and service partners in biglaw are chewed up and discarded. At least at my current firm I have somewhat long term stability (knock on wood) and have the time to build my business over the next several years so long as I continue to do good work.

If I went shitlaw, I would go solo and steal all the commodity finance work and leasing, assuming the banks would still be willing to use me. I could undercut the fees but I am concerned that the internal approval systems with the banks would fuck a solo, even though I have been doing $500-700K of work for them for the past 4-5 years.

no. you can work from home or rent your own office space or do whatever you want.

you agree to give the "firm" a certain percent of your gross (usually 15-20%), in exchange for whatever benefits you get from being a partner in the firm (they usually provide malp insurance, they may do the billing administration but they dont do collections).

the firm is a basically a bunch of solo practitioners.

it's kinda a (((pyramid scheme)))

i dont know why any solo would want to do this, unless they wouldnt otherwise be able to generate any clients w/ a solo name. that they take 15-20% of your GROSS means the firm name needs to increase your book of business by way more than 20%.

no, they're not adding value. the "value" is supposedly in the (non-existent) brand name of the firm.

20% of the gross, too. that means they're taking much more of your net.

these firms arent taking actual bottom of the barrel shitlaw solos who have to collect from individual poors. they do screen out who they bring into the partnership bc they lose money if they bring in someone who has 0 gross since they have to give them malpractice etc.

yeah i dont see how this is viable and why any solo would go for this. these firms usually want to see your books and make sure you have a 100-200k book before they bring you on so they dont end up with bottom of the barrel types.

i've met various people who are part of these firms, and i dont get it either. my only guess is that it could be an earl-like situation where most of their clients are companies who expect their counsel to in big firms and wouldn't otherwise hire them if they were quality solos.

All my clients pay on time. All of them. Sorry about the life choices you made that led you here in your late 30's. I'm sure you didn't envision this as a young law student. I know you never enjoyed confrontation. And it's funny because even nutella made fun of your non equity position, telling you to cop some other gig. But we know you can't cut it.
