Since salaries range so much, you will need to take into account what sort of billable requirement you have, how much work will she be doing that is required but not billable per se (admin work, contingent work, flat rate work...), whether you are a nice person to work with (I'm serious - If you're a jerk, offer a whole lot more!), whether you think she can generate business on her own, what sort of bonuses you pay - if any, whether this is a high pressure/stressful atmosphere, and so on. Some of that she won't know until she gets there, but you do want to keep her around, presumably.
Give a few more details and you will probably get some more responses, but those are some factors to take into account. My thought is enough to draw her in (definitely more than her current job) and if she is worth it, you can always give raises, but you can't take away a salary, once given.
