Our goal is to ensure that associates are provided formal feedback at least once a year, and certainly informal feedback on an on-going basis. We ask our associates to let us know the types of work they did over the prior year, the training opportunities provided, and what they are looking for in the year to come. The Associates Evaluation and Compensation Committee reviews evaluations from each lawyer with whom an associate has worked during the prior year. Members of the Committee meet with each associate during their formal review to discuss the associates' performance and to agree upon goals for the coming year. Each associate receives a copy of his or her review file containing all of the evaluations.
Compensation is increased based on the evaluation results.
Starting salaries are currently under review in some of our offices. Our intent is to be competitive and pay market salaries in each of our offices.
