Knicole Emanuel

Doubled her income moving to Practus
Her blog is optimized and maintained by Practus marketing team
In two years, her practice has grown so much, that Practus hired their first associate to help with the load
Class-Action Litigator from an AmLaw 100 firm. Would bring 1 associate.
PB: $1.6M
HR: $750
Comp: $500K
NO
Why? Class Action is VERY expensive, high volume, and requires multiple litigators in multiple states all working on the same case.
Practus does not have this bandwidth yet.
Active on LinkedIn with a Crypto Currency NewsLetter 'Explain it to a 6th Grader'
IP Practice Area Chair
Jesse Camacho
Jesse was submitted to both Practus & Rimon but chose Practus to be the big fish in a small pond.
His strategy worked as he is now practice chair, oversees all IP meetings, and is the first to meet any IP attorney submitted to Practus

Practus's first hired associate!
Ryan Hargrave
We technically didn't source him, but ES conducted screening and interviews. He was hired to help Knicole, hence S&S's investment in him.
AmLaw 100 ERISA Counsel. Unsure what would port with them
HR: $500
Comp: $500K
No.
They don't know if they have a book or not, so we wouldn't pitch them anywhere that is 'eat what you kill'
That practice area tends to be a one-off to the corporate department and is fed a lot of work.
They're paid $500K
San Francisco Bankruptcy Attorney
Achieved partner title by moving to PractusBernie Kornberg
Bernie was an of counsel at a sub AmLaw firm with a book of $300K.
Upon moving to Practus, he achieved his partner title and is one of the first bankruptcy attorneys to get in the door.
He's got a new born baby and a house in the city. While submitted at $300K, he is already on track to bring in $650K
AmLaw 100 Litigation Partner. Wants to move so they can lower their hourly rate to $700/hr to retain clients.
PB: $1M
HR: $1200
Comp: $600K
No & Explain why
If their book is a million now at $1200/hr, by how much do you think it'll decrease if they lower their rate to 700/hr?
Caveat - if you educate the attorney and they don't mind, then yes pitch Practus.
700/1200 = 58%
58% X $1M = $580K (new book)
$580K X 80% = $464K Comp
