4. This tool is for informational purposes only and should not be the sole basis for financial decisions. Always consult with your firm's financial professionals for accurate assessments of your contributions.
5. Remember that a lawyer's value to a firm extends beyond pure revenue generation. This calculator does not account for factors such as expertise, mentorship, or firm reputation.
