On The Merits

Choose-Your-Billable-Hours Model May Be Future of Associate Pay


Listen Later

Big Law associates often feel they have little control over their pay or their time.

But Steptoe & Johnson's new compensation model will allow associates to choose a 1800-, 2000-, or 2200-billable-hour track with a corresponding pay scale.
