Lindsay Lohan is perhaps the most troubled starlet currently in the news. The 26-year-old actress, whose Lifetime movie “Liz & Dick,” premieres this Sunday, can’t meanwhile, shake the law.

With a two-tiered partnership structure, associates get more time to prove themselves and also more time to determine whether partnership is the right goal for them. Two-tier partnerships (non-equity and equity) exist so the firm can train and develop associates into equity partners. The non-equity track to partner at most firms is on average, 6 years long. [...]
