HOURS AND COMPENSATION:
Associates have an annual target of only 1,800 hours, including billable work as well as pro bono, professional development, business development and more – giving associates the ability to devote their best selves at work while at the same time enjoying personal time and creating a sustainable balance of work and life. Most lawyers at our firm perform 1600 hours of billable work with an additional 200 of pro bono, business development, and other activities eligible for the hours target.
Junior associates earn a base salary between $150K-$175K. Associates who meet the 1,800 hours target (including pro bono, business development, and other creditable activities) are eligible for a bonus of approximately $50K. The firm also provides strong employee benefits and matches 401(k) contributions of up to $10K. The firm also offers profit sharing to associates, of up to $10K per year.
CULTURE AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT:
Ifrah Law’s size and culture make it a great place for junior associates to grow. At our firm, junior associates are tasked with real, substantive work – drafting briefs, taking depositions, appearing in hearings, and preparing for trial. Junior associates are treated as real members of the team to contribute to the client’s success – we do not put junior associates in a “box” to perform doc review or other tasks.
Ifrah Law also provides the rare opportunity for associates to get significant experience across practice areas, between white-color litigation, data privacy, regulatory, advertising, and other areas. Our attorneys are encouraged to work in multiple areas, to become the most versatile and well-rounded lawyers they can be.
Because of this, Ifrah Law is a great fit for smart, confident, fast-learning, and hard-working associates (and graduating law students) who are eager to jump right in and gain hands-on experience early in their careers.
All attorneys at the firm, including associates, have the opportunity to become experts in various topics. Most attorneys at the firm write articles, participate in speaking engagements, and join other activities (which are creditable to the firm’s hours target).
