Bergeson Eliopoulos, LLP, a fifteen-attorney high tech litigation firm in San Jose has announced a new associate compensation structure which keeps the firm competitive with the largest Silicon Valley law firms. When you consider the total package we offer in terms of compensation, sophistication of practice, quality of life, opportunity for advancement and building your practice, Bergeson Eliopoulos is a very attractive place to be. Bergeson Eliopoulos' associate base salaries are slightly below the largest firms, but total compensation is sweetened with bonus and profit sharing potential.
More senior associates receive relatively more generous base salaries.
We value quality of life. But we significantly reward those who go above and beyond the minimum. So our associates can each reach their preferred equilibrium between time spent and money earned. Additionally, associates receive a percentage of any business they generate, something the larger firms typically do not offer. And, as a simple factor of its smaller size, the opportunities for case responsibility and advancement to the partnership are exponentially greater at Bergeson Eliopoulos than at the larger Silicon Valley firms.
