The benefits of name partner

name partner – partner whose name is included in the official name of partnership

Most desired when you join a law firm as attorney is to become partner, if name partner better, or perhaps the best. The true is that once you are a full partner, you must pay your own benefits; once your name is part of the brand, you must share the resources with firms’ attorneys and staff that is not part of the management or profit sharing decisions. They are only those saying “we are from --your name included -- law firm. Shortly, when you are a law firm partner, you are a part-owner of the firm. Bear in mind, however, that you also reap the rewards of high profits when times are good. Of course, you also share the risks/losses when times are bad. This sharing of loss is almost never borne in mind when promoted to partnership, only benefits and profits are expected In life, that means that when a law firm goes belly that all risks pass, jointly and severally, to the partners. That means that if a true partnership law firm goes belly up, the associates get fired--but the partners can lose everything.
