Incoming associates at Cincinnati’s Frost Brown Todd will get a lower salary, although specific numbers have not been released.
In addition, the new associates will spend their first 1,000 hours in an “apprenticeship program.” Clients will be billed at a lower rate for work done by “apprentices.”
I keep putting the word “apprentice” in quotes because an apprentice is a 16-year-old learning to swap out a transmission, not a professional with a college degree and a law degree.
Those who complete the apprenticeship program can earn a merit-based bonus, and the opportunity to get on the regular lock-step pay track after one year.
The firm’s most famous former associates are Jerry Springer and Kenneth Starr. So, way to contribute to America, guys.
