Work/Life at Optim
Optim Legal seeks to create an unbeatable proposition for progressive, talented lawyers. Our approach:
- Be led by what the individual wants out of us. Allow lawyers to choose their own hours. Place respect for the individual’s real needs at the centre of our culture.
- Create a spirit of true cooperation and collegiality. Remove the politics. Base evaluation and promotion on transparent and objective metrics rather than the opinion of senior individuals.
- Pay lawyers for each hour billed. Remove the law firm incentive to overwork their lawyers.
- Pay the lawyers as much as possible. About 13- 20% more on average for the same full time hours in a top tier law firm. Pay profit share, equity and bonuses at all levels.
- Reward lawyers for behaviour which makes the firm more successful. Encourage fun and creativity which leads to better results for clients.
- Give our lawyers greater responsibility and encourage them to grow.
- Encourage work for companies who are doing business in a way which benefits society and the environment.
