Compensation Systems and Compensation Reviews

This month's General Counselling episode is hosted by Montresor's Partner Lead Freddie Lawson, joined by ex Linklaters partner and Paul Hastings’ global vice-chair of M&A, Roger Barron. Together, Freddie and Roger tackle the essentials of preparing for your compensation review. Learn how understanding your firm's rules and metrics, whether it's client origination, sharing knowledge, or being a subject matter expert, can help you navigate the process with confidence. They explore how to evaluate whether your firm aligns with your career goals and how to effectively handle reviews for your team members. Plus, they discuss comparing compensation systems, the impact of these systems on company culture, and the differences between English and American firms, giving actionable insights and expert advice on making the most of your compensation review.
