Is your law firm struggling to fairly reward lawyers and partners managing client assignments? Recognizing client and file managers boosts client service, reduces turnover, and drives growth. Lawyers handling files independently deserve recognition. Those managing cases they didn't originate should treat these clients as their own. We suggest client/file managers receive up to 20% of the profit or formula credit as compensation. Typically, the lawyer who brings in a client also manages their files, claiming this credit. However, sometimes the originating attorney relies on another to manage files. Firms often distinguish between non-owner lawyers and equity owners when distributing credit. Sharing client/file credit often begins when an associate becomes a non-equity partner. Equity owners managing relationships for others usually receive some recognition. In formula-based compensation models, only working attorney production and origination often influence compensation. Client/file credit is usually under origination credit. While compensating client/file management through origination share might be a misnomer, it is better than ignoring their contributions.

Is your law firm in need of assistance in properly acknowledging and compensating dedicated lawyers and partners who handle client assignments and relationships? Consider recognizing the critical roles of client and file managers, as it can improve client service, reduce turnover, promote operational excellence, and drive growth. Lawyers who independently manage files directly with clients should be recognized. Similarly, lawyers handling case assignments they didn't originate should treat these clients as their own. We recommend that client/file managers receive up to 20% of the profit or formula credit (not gross fees) in compensation. Typically, the lawyer who brings in a client also oversees their files, claiming this share of the credit. However, situations arise where the originating attorney relies on another to handle files. Firms tend to differentiate between non-owner lawyers and equity owners when distributing credit for managing clients/files. The transition to sharing client/file credit and its perks often occurs when an associate ascends to a non-equity partner role. Equity owners overseeing relationships for other equity owners usually earn some acknowledgment for it. Only working attorney production and origination often factor into objective compensation allocation in firms utilizing formula-based compensation models. Client/file credit tends to fall under origination credit within these systems. While compensating client/file management through an origination share is a misnomer, it is better than not recognizing the contributions from client/file managers.

For those thinking about starting a law firm, A top skill that you will need to master is cash flow management. Cash flow is oxygen to your firm. Without it, the firm will die. It doesn't matter how valuable your cases are. If the value is locked up until some future date, and you can't make it, then they might as well be worth zero. You should stay hyper-focused on cash flow now and forever.
