What is an attorney partner?

Attorney Partners are senior lawyers who hold an ownership interest in a law firm and share in its profits and decision-making. They typically have extensive experience in legal practice, manage client relationships, and often oversee junior attorneys. Becoming a partner is a significant career milestone, reflecting both legal expertise and a demonstrated ability to attract business. Attorney Partners may be either equity partners, sharing in the firm's profits, or non-equity partners, holding a senior title without ownership stake. Their responsibilities often include strategic planning, business development, and supervising legal teams.
