Yes. Expect to be billed more for a salaried partner as he/she is more senior.

Salaried partner is a stepping stone to equity partner (where you own a bit of the business and share in the profits). So a salaried partners rate ought to be less than an equity partner (listed on the headed paper?) but more than non-partner solicitor.

The solicitors path goes:
Trainee
Solicitor
Assistant Solcitor
Associate Solicitor
Partner
As you go up the ranks the hourly rate in most firms also rises. It is not usual for there to be a difference in rates between the two types of partner (equity or salaried), but you need to assess if your case needs a partner - usually a partner will only deal with very large and/or complex cases. A run of the mill case can be dealt with by someone lower down the chain.

Please therefore seek proper legal advice, before acting on mine........

What's your solicitor's hourly rate cat?
I think you can change solicitor's as and when you like - but it would be wise to look before you leap - try a few free initial interviews before you decide? - and what stage are you at with your divorce - could swapping over now cause you even more probs?
