Outdated Compensation Plans Leave Young Lawyers Disenchanted About Leadership Roles
Law firms are tweaking partner compensation in response to competitive pressures. And certainly, some firms have taken steps to recognize nontraditional compensation criteria such as collaboration.

As a result, "compensation plans for yesteryear often fail to recognize what is required of lawyers today," said Tim Corcoran, a law firm consultant at Corcoran Consulting Group.
