Associates on MB’s standard track are eligible for advancement at the beginning of each calendar year of full-time practice, and consideration for becoming an equity shareholder typically occurs at the completion of an Associate’s sixth full year. A standard-track Associate is expected to bill 1,800 hours each calendar year, which may include up to 50 hours of non-billable firm-related or pro bono projects. Consideration for becoming a shareholder is based on various factors, and some Associates may be advanced before or after the six-year period depending on their individual circumstances.

Maschoff Brennan offers an individualized flex track for Associates who desire to work less than full-time. This means that the standard 1,800 billable hours requirement may be reduced. Unlike other firms where flex track associates never become shareholders in the firm, MB flex track associates can still advance toward shareholders on a prorated basis.
