Lateral Partners

As a Partner of JW, You Will Find:

• Our practice is not limited to Texas, but rather is national and international in scope. Because we choose to keep our offices in Texas, we benefit from lower overhead costs compared to firms that are equal in size or larger. This affords us the opportunity to offer clients more flexibility in rates and assures value to clients while still maintaining profitable margins.
• Our compensation system is not formulaic and takes subjective factors into account. It is merit-based according to contributions, with no lockstep system and no seniority system.
• Jackson Walker’s platform gives lateral partners the support, guidance and strength they need to effectively achieve desired growth and success both individually and firm-wide.

At Jackson Walker, lateral partner integration is a key component of our growth strategy and ensuring the success of our lateral attorneys. From day one, each lateral partner receives a customized integration plan dedicated to provide every tool, resource and support system necessary for a seamless transition to the Firm. With an eight-year retention rate among lateral partners at 79%, we strive to continue supporting our attorneys and preserving the Firm’s culture and commitment to excellence.
