That's if you billed 2k hours a year, that's 100k revenue. After corporate/employment type taxes and run of the mill expenses you would not incur as an employee, that's about 80k. 80k for lawyer-hours is not worth it. (2000 billable hours is a common law firm quota) (To bill 2000 hours a year, you have to work much more like 3-5k hours, really expect to bill more between 1200-1600).
