Partner Pay and Performance in Law Firms

The true effectiveness of partner pay and performance in law firms and remuneration systems is regularly under the spotlight. In Autumn 2012, BDO’s Professional Services team conducted research into the issue and our survey received 167 individual responses, from a range of regional, national and international law firms.

We have produced an in-depth report on the findings for 2013 and our results show that the financial cost of issues to do with partner pay and performance can easily run into millions of pounds each year. Now, more than ever, there is a pressing need for many firms to carefully address these issues.
