LATERAL LINK

Placement Bonus

Lateral Link typically provides a placement bonus to Members who are placed in full-time law firm positions. In most instances, the bonus amount will equal:

(a) $10,000 for positions with a base salary greater than $160,000; or

(b) $5,000 for positions with a base salary of $160,000 or less.

Although we assist all Members with a career transition, Lateral Link does not provide a placement bonus for boutique law firm, in-house counsel, government or non-profit placements. Additionally, we are unable to offer a signing bonus for some law firm positions in certain instances, given the arrangement with the employer; we appreciate your understanding in advance. Please confirm with your search consultant as to whether a specific position qualifies for a placement bonus.

A placement bonus is paid after Lateral Link fully earns its fee from the law firm, which is subject to Lateral Link’s agreement with each employer. Payment of the bonus is at the sole and absolute discretion of Lateral Link. For more information concerning Lateral Link’s Placement Bonus, please email candidatehelp@laterallink.com.
