What is the difference between a non-solicitor fee earner and a member of staff?
A non-solicitor fee earner is a person in the solicitor’s firm who generates fee income but is not a solicitor. Examples could be a conveyancing manager or a trainee solicitor, a paralegal or a legal executive. A member of staff is someone who works at the firm but does not generate fees. An example could be a receptionist or an office manager.
