Leatherwood Legal Recruiting Candidate Referral Program
Welcome to the Leatherwood Legal Recruiting Referral Program. We created this program to thank people who refer candidates to us. If your referral results in a successful placement, you may be eligible for a bonus, as detailed below.
Eligibility
This program is open to anyone who is not an employee, contractor, or business partner of Leatherwood Legal Recruiting.
To be eligible, a referred candidate must not have had any communication with Leatherwood Legal Recruiting within the past 12 months. This program is for candidates and law firms based in the United States.
Referral Bonus Structure
This bonus structure resets annually, 12 months after your first referral submission. You can earn a maximum of three referral bonuses per year.
1st Placement: You'll earn 3.5% of the placement fee for the first successful placement.
2nd Placement: You'll earn 7% of the placement fee for the second successful placement.
3rd Placement: You'll earn 10% of the placement fee for the third successful placement.
Referrals remain valid for a period of six months from their submission date. Placements that occur after this six-month period will not be eligible for a bonus.
Referral Submission
Referrals must be made through email to Kelly@LeatherwoodLegal.com
Payment Terms
You'll receive your referral bonus within 30 days after a successful placement has completed its guarantee and grace periods (usually 90-180 days). We'll pay you by check or electronic transfer, and you'll need to provide any necessary paperwork, like a W-9 form, to process the payment. A 1099 will be issued to you for that tax year.
Program Limits & Expiration
Referral Validity: A referral is valid for six months from the date you submit it. If no placement occurs within that timeframe, the referral will expire and no bonus will be paid.
Program Discretion: Leatherwood Legal Recruiting has the right to limit the number of bonuses or suspend the program at any time. Any changes we make will not impact referrals submitted before the change.
Additional Terms
Eligibility & Final Decisions: Leatherwood Legal Recruiting holds the final authority on the eligibility of all referred candidates, law firms, and referrers. All of our decisions are considered final.
Confidentiality: We will not share any sensitive information regarding a referred candidate or law firm's hiring process with you.
Taxes: Referral bonuses are considered taxable income. If required, we will issue a 1099 form, and you are responsible for complying with all applicable tax laws.
Fraud & Abuse: We reserve the right to disqualify any participants or referrals suspected of engaging in fraudulent or unethical behavior.
Dispute Resolution: Any disputes related to this program will be resolved at the sole discretion of Leatherwood Legal Recruiting.
Communication & Transparency
Referral Updates: We'll send you a confirmation as soon as you submit a referral and will provide you with periodic status updates.
