The firm is committed to competitive compensation with the top salary of firms based in Western Michigan. Associates receive a yearly performance bonus based on meeting a minimum billable hours requirement of 1775 hours. Counted toward this minimum are up to 50 hours of billable credit for training activities and 50 hours of billable credit for pro bono activities.
Associates are also eligible for a discretionary performance bonus paid at year end.
Salary increases occur in the fall of each year. The firm covers the cost of the bar exam, bar review classes, and moving expenses incurred by first year associates in relocating to Grand Rapids. Our compensation structure is fair and provides the right incentives.
