Referral Attorney
Ideal Candidate: A licensed attorney in good standing, engaging in general practice or a separate practice area on a solo basis or within a firm that does not handle Estate Planning/ Probate matters
Expectations:
  • To have a basic general understanding of estate planning solutions so as to identify client need and refer them to specialists within the firm
  • To recognize the limits of their own expertise within matters handled by the firm and refer any and all matters outside of their own skill level to a knowledgeable attorney practicing within the firm who can properly service the client’s need
Compensation: Generally, 20% of fees paid by client in return for performing the initial intake and consultation with the client
Job Description: A referring attorney is one who is not expressly affiliated with the firm, but rather chooses to establish an exclusive referral relationship with the firm for practice areas handled by the firm. In this sense a referring attorney becomes more of a strategic referral partner than anything else. As a referring attorney, the attorney is paid on a case by case basis, has no access to membership benefits provided by the firm and consents to standardized co-counsel arrangements within the firm for all work performed by the firm. As a referring attorney, any clients handled by the firm are clients of the firm member co-counseling with the referring attorney and the referring attorney cannot receive referrals from internal client generation efforts. Recruiting of a referring attorney may be done by any managing attorney.
​
Of Counsel Attorney
 Ideal Candidate: A licensed attorney with at least 5 years of specialized experience in practice areas handled by the firm. If still practicing within a firm or otherwise, then authorized to co-counsel and/or affiliate themselves publicly with Inter Vivos as a firm.
Expectations:
  • To assist with questions, support, client matters within their area of expertise by members of the firm
  • To adhere to the standard co-counseling rates set by the firm
  • To advise, give feedback to, and support the firm’s management board
Compensation: Generally, 20% of fees paid by client in return for performing the initial intake and consultation with the client or 40% for work performed on a client matter pursuant to a co-counsel arrangement with a member attorney
Job Description: An Of Counsel Attorney is one with experience in the industry who wishes to affiliate himself with the firm on less than a full time basis. Of counsel attorneys are available to co-counsel on cases with firm members and have access to benefits of membership in the firm without actually holding any membership interests or voting rights. An Of Counsel Attorney divides revenues with the firm only for work performed through the firm and is not bound by the same non-competition agreement that members are.  Hiring of Of Counsel Attorneys may be done by a member of the executive board.
Associate Attorney
​Ideal Candidate: A licensed attorney in good standing, interested in establishing either a virtual practice or a part time practice specializing in practice areas handled by the firm, while lowering their overhead and benefiting from a larger firm backing and resources.
Compensation: Generally, 60% of fees collected from client for worked performed, if under probationary status. If a specialist attorney then generally 70% of fees collected from client for work performed.
Expectations:
  • To follow firm procedures and uphold standards of professionalism in their practice
  • To protect and foster good relationships both with referral sources and between referral
    sources and their clients
  • To put client’s needs and concerns above monetary gain and maintain an ethical practice
  • To put success of the firm above individual profit/ successes
Job Description: An associate attorney is either hired by the firm as a whole by a member of the firm. Associate attorneys may become full members of the firm provided that they meet the requirements set forth in the membership process section above to any and all benefits of the firm including generation. Any clients engaged by a member attorney are their clients and any referral relationships established by the member attorney are theirs as well. Therefore associates are expected to engage in regular marketing efforts to find and service new clients in addition to receiving work from the firm.
They are also encouraged to provide pro bono representation as needed and to promote the firm brand
and culture both in and out of the office. Any benefits and responsibilities of associates hired by member attorneys for their own practices may be altered or changed by the member attorney subject to the limitations included in any agreements between the member and the firm.
Managing Attorney
Ideal Candidate: A partner or managing attorney from a small to mid-sized practice with experience in practice areas handled by the firm interested in owning and managing an independent office under the firm’s brand/ umbrella.
Compensation: Generally, 70% of fees collected from client for worked performed, subject to costs of
running their own office, as well as a management fee collected by attorneys assigned to them (generally 10-20% for each member attorney).
Expectations:
  • To manage an independent office conforming to firm systems and procedures
  • To share insights, forms, expertise, and etc. with other members of the firm as requested
  • To preserve the brand and integrity of the Firm as a whole
  • To ensure that attorneys working out of their office protect and foster good relationships both with referral sources and between referral sources and their clients
  • To ensure that attorneys working out of their office put client’s needs and concerns above monetary gain and maintain an ethical practice
  • To put success of the firm above personal gain/ profits
  • To ensure that attorneys working out of the office adhere to high standards of professionalism

A managing attorney may build equity in their office and may receive profits generated from the office pursuant to the arrangement they have with attorneys within the office. A managing attorney may also become a general partner of the firm by nomination of a general partner, unanimous consent of general partners, and ratification by the firm membership at the annual membership meeting.
