If anyone wants to compile a list of which firms have recently raised salaries, by how much, in which markets, etc. we'll sticky it, or if it's extensive enough give it its own section on the site.

Is there really any doubt that eventually every firm in every city that currently pays market will be paying 145,000, even if some are hesitant at first? Clearly, a firm that considers itself competitive is not going to suddenly pay 10-20,000 less than other firms in the cities-that would have a huge impact on recruiting. It just seems silly that people (on monkeyscribe or ga) are talking about transferring to firms that pay 145,000. Clearly, if you work for a firm that currently pays market, it is overwhelmingly likely that you will also soon be paid $145,000 (or more, I suppose, if someone re-raises).

LA Offices

Starting salaries

145k - Sullivan, Simpson, Milbank, LeBoeuf, Dewey, Skadden, Quinn, White & Case, Susman Godfrey

140k - Fulbright

135k - Irell, Munger, Gibson, O'Melveny, Paul Hastings, DLA Piper, Sheppard Mullin, Latham, MoFo, Manatt, Sidley, Kirkland, Sonnenschein, Orrick, Heller Ehrman, Proskauer, Morgan Lewis, Pillsbury, Thelen, Bingham, Foley, Katten Muchin, Bryan Cave, Jones Day, Christensen Miller

* 135k firms lag 145k firms by 15k or more after the first or second year, except for Kirkland, Proskauer, Latham, and Gibson (10k difference for all years)

Summer salaries (no longer updating this, see nalpdirectory.com)

2800 - Skadden

2788* - Simpson, Sullivan, Dewey, Milbank, White & Case, LeBoeuf

2600 - O'Melveny, Foley, Quinn, Latham, Gibson, Irell

2596 - Proskauer, Jones Day**

2590 - Paul Hastings

* See this post on why $2788 salaries are actually less: WTF? $2788/wk summer salary is more like $2705???

** Jones Day's NALP form says $2812.50/wk which doesn't sound right. Note that 2812.5 * 4 weeks * 12 months = $135k.

Also, Latham NY is on a different bonus structure, something like $13k or so more than these numbers. MoFo NY does something like a lockstep bonus that matches NY market I believe.

You might be interested that Latham apparently raised to 145k for NY *and* overseas offices. So you very well might make more in Tokyo this summer than you will in SF.

MoFo also held off on deciding NY raises, like Latham. They'll probably go along with the $145k raise, and if Latham is any indication, they could apply that raise to Tokyo too. (I assume because Latham has to compete with NY firms in those markets.)

Is it true that COL wasn't an issue before? That is, (a) did Chicago raise to $125K the same year NY did and (b) did Chicago firms pay NY-level bonuses? My guess is that the answer is no. Remember that, at least in theory, some of the $145K is coming out of year-end bonuses.

"Until the late 90s, Cali firms even paid different salaries to their associates in different parts of the state--LA associates got 10-20% more than their SF cousins. This is only surprising to kids who have only ever known $125 first-year salaries. Don't like it? Move to NYC, take another bar exam and live in a shoebox."

Earlier this week, Simpson Thacher increased annual first year associate salaries by $20,000 to $145,000. The salaries for associates in other classes increased by similar amounts. This salary increase will also apply to new associates from the class of 2006. The summer salary will be the weekly proration of that amount.

It's a little more complicated, since many non-NY firms don't pay a prorated bonus at the end of the stub year (before the first full year). Also there are firms like Skadden that give like a really big "technology allowance" or something.

fish pays a pro-rated bonus if you actually earned one, but the bonus system there is weird, so most people won't have earned one anyway.

the 135k base is kind of huge if you go to the dallas/austion/atlana offices.

Actually, my tax prof. told me it is harder to lateral from DPW to a smaller market than from V&E because the stuff that DPW does is so sophisticated that it isn't applicable to what some mid-sized firm in Denver does. Apparently, the general tax work I'd get from V&E would be better for staying in Houston or lateralling to smaller market (a very real posibility).

Also, my wife would kill me if I went to NYC unless it was Wachtell.

I'm not sure why. Most other industries adjust their salaries to the cost of living of the area where their offices are located, at least to some extent. It's always seemed a little funny that law firms treat the subject as taboo and have to make the adjustments in the bonus rather than in base salary.

Supply and demand, baby. Costs are never a determining factor of "price," at least in theory. If law firms want the best candidates, they have to be willing to pay the competitive price. COL often helps low COL markets in competing with high COL markets, but you could imagine how much a firm based in Iowa City would have to pay to get a 100 summer associates from HYS. It would certainly be more than what NYC is paying, even though the COL is dirt cheap. Why? Low supply of top candidates willing to move there and (assumed) high demand for such candidates.

But why are you assuming there's either more demand or less of a supply of associates who want to work in Chicago than want to work in New York? It's notoriously easier to get a legal job in New York than elsewhere, signaling that the supply there is lower or the demand is higher. Makes sense they'd pay a little more if they have an unusually large number of jobs there that need to be filled, and not all associates find New York an attractive place to work.

At the very least, I think it's reasonable to assume the price at all large cities would not be the same.

In theory, costs are the determining factor of supply. Supply = marginal cost (from the Microeconomic perspective). Law firms demand the labor, attorneys supply the labor. COL is certainly a part of the aggregate supply curve for any geographic market, along with other aggregate opportunity costs (such as the cost of giving up the opportunity to be in a more desirable location).

Agreed, but it isn't a direct relationship as this person was suggesting. Firms in Denver or Miami aren't paying half of what NYC is paying, even though COL would suggest they should. It's not a "determining factor," although that may not be the best term for what I'm trying to say. COL is certainly a competitive factor, but it doesn't have any affect on what law firms would be willing to pay(except to the extent COL affects legal fees and they simply can't pay above a certain amount). It only affects what associates are willing to accept (the lowest they can), but if demand drives the price up to $200k, an associate wouldn't accept $199k (in theory), even though that is much more than they could get in NYC. To suggest that you could "adjust salaries" to meet COL, as the above poster suggested, is overly simplistic. I don't see you moving to Iowa, even if they did pay $200k. :)

My understanding may be incorrect, but you charge cost because there is competition that pushes price down to cost, not *because* that's what it costs you to produce the product. You'd gladly charge more if you could, like the associates living in Iowa, but may be forced to charge your cost because of competition.

All costs are determining factors. Collectively, they make up the total cost curve from which the marginal cost curve is derived. That is my only disagreement with you.

In your example, there is additional cost to top law students as a whole of being in Denver and Miami aside from the COL in those markets....and that is giving up working in a major legal market. Opportunity cost is equally important to economists as accounting cost.

Under this analysis, the reason why COL does not explain the entire salary difference is that the opportunity cost of giving up being in NYC (for law students as a class) exceeds the COL difference by $30k (for Miami).

bonuses are taxed at 7 - 8% higher than base pay.

so $145k + $30k bonus < $160k + $15k bonus

not by that much, but you still take home more money with a higher base pay. of course K+E gives their superstars a shitton higher bonus

It isn't taxed at a higher rate, rather more is withheld, because withholdings are calculated based on the assumption that each paycheck is indicative of every other check. So that a $35k paycheck, indicates that every pay period deals out $35k, so the calculators withhold the amount based on assumed income.

We have a progressive tax system. The first $x you make are taxed at a rate of y. $$ made above x are taxed at z. It doesn't matter whether those dollars are in the form of a bonus, or a higher base. The total tax is the same.

Also, the time value of money in this instance is so small as to be insignificant. It's not like you're getting a lump sum payment at the beginning of the year, it's being spread over 52 weeks, with decreasing value.

yes. if associates get a bonus at the end of the taxable year, then the time value is only the equivalent of investing for a few months the 7-8% extra taxes taken out of the bonus check. We're talking about a few hundred dollars invested for a few months. Not worth worrying about.

I'm not sure, but I don't see what they lose by staying "ahead" in the market as far as base compensation. Personally, I'm hoping they bump (and I think every NYC person should be hoping they bump) to $160 in order to assure than that's the new "base" for total compensation.

Subject: Higher score on the GMAT … - Tutor wanted – Pay: $50,000+

If you tutor me, and if I score at least a 750 on the GMAT, I will give you $10,000. This is no joke.

Greetings!!!

I need you to come tutor me for the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test). I am located in Tampa, Florida. My telephone number is: (813) 598-2899. Basically, what I need is a very good GMAT instructor who has taken the real test no more than a year ago with a score of 720 or above.

If this is you, then read on…

I will pay you tutor me. This is how it works: You first tutor me for free until I take the real GMAT. If I score above a 650, you get $1,000 for all your trouble. But, if I score above a 700, you get $5,000. Finally, here’s the best part: If I score above a 750, you get $10,000. I am talking about cash, pure cash, coming out of my pocket for you to tutor me.

Greetings!!!

I need you to come tutor me for the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test). I am located in Tampa, Florida. My telephone number is: (813) 598-2899. Basically, what I need is a very good GMAT instructor who has taken the real test no more than a year ago with a score of 720 or above.

If this is you, then read on…

I will pay you tutor me. This is how it works: You first tutor me for free until I take the real GMAT. If I score above a 650, you get $1,000 for all your trouble. But, if I score above a 700, you get $5,000. Finally, here’s the best part: If I score above a 750, you get $10,000. I am talking about cash, pure cash, coming out of my pocket for you to tutor me.

By the way, as someone who's actually worked at a law firm, here are some reasons why base is better than bonus:

1. Base can't really go down. A firm that pays $125K base + $35K bonus one year can pay $15K bonus the next for $140K all-in. A firm that pays $145K base + $15K bonus can't really go below $145K all-in, and most NY firms will probably feel compelled to pay a five-figure bonus, so a $145K base sets a $155K all-in floor, which is toward the high end of the recent market. Relatedly, as discussed above, *Skadden's* base sets a floor for other firms' all-in, so if Skadden also goes up $20K we've got a $160K all-in minimum, which again is not as good as 2000 but is pretty close to the top for recent years.

2. NY lawyers have high rents and student-loan debt, and if you've got monthly expenses you'd rather have monthly pay. There's a concomitant disadvantage here, which is that bonus probably encourages savings more than base does.

3. Lots of exit options have non-calendar-year timing. If a large percentage of your comp comes in December/January, it's harder to leave at other times in the year. If you're getting most of your money in base salary, you have more flexibility to leave.

There are no tax advantages, and the time-value advantage isn't really worth mentioning given the time and sums involved.

The benefit you point out in #2 is basically the time value advantage. Under a bonus system, you could just take out a loan to cover the monthly expenses that you later pay off plus interest with the bonus. The salary hike lets you cover these expenses without the interest, or time value.

That's fair, although 28-year-olds don't have completely efficient access to the capital markets. But, yes, essentially you're right. Points 1 and 3 are more important to me, though; if you can't live month to month on $125K you're in trouble.

Dudes, nobody needs to take out a loan to cover their monthly expenses. That's retarded.

The time value of money advantage clearly resides with the bonus system, and like he said, the bonus system encourages savings.

This move effectively guarantees a raise in total comp. Simpson and Cleary have raised for *all* their domestic US offices. If they were to follow S&C's original statement, they'd have to drop bonuses from $35k to $15k to make up the difference. Assuming that they also want to keep paying their NY associates higher total compensation, that would mean that they'd have to pay non-NY associates an even lower bonus, somewhere in the range of $0 to $5k. That's the floor, and it's quite likely they'd go higher.

Why would simpson/cleary want to pay their NY associates higher total comp? It's pretty standard these days for NY firms to pay the same comp to every office.

I've read it pretty closely, so I know what you mean. I added it here after I saw it mentioned on Greedy LA as well. Greedy could have just gotten the news from here though. I'm guessing we'll find out soon.

It's legit. I work there. Won't get into any more details than to say that. (And I fully realize that trusting someone's word on the internet isn't easy or ideal, but all I can say is that there would have been some proof to the contrary by this point on GAs or here if it was false.)

This is the most interesting chapter of the salary wars:

What are DC, Chi-town, LA, SF going to do with Texas raising salaries across the board to $140K? Texas only has the cheapest cost of living of any major legal market in the country!

Predictions anyone? Does this indicate that the salary increases have only begun in the top-top markets (they've got to top TX, but then what does NY do?) or is this just typical Texas--irrational exuberance and excess?

Subject: Some DC firms

By Emma Schwartz

Legal Times

The law firm associate salary race appears to be coming to a close.

Arnold & Porter, Howrey, Venable, and WilmerHale have all joined onto the recent wave of pay increases that boosted first-year salaries by $10,000 to $135,000 annually.

A few more tidbits: At Venable, all associates will see an increase of $10,000, but because pay doesn’t move in lockstep beyond the second year, the amount will vary for third-years and above.

At Wilmer, the firm has advertised its new rates online. Midlevel associates take note: Pay for third-years is $160,000, $180,000 for fourth-years, and $200,000 for fifth-years. The firm declined comment on why it posted salaries on the Web.

Nalpdirectory.com has been updated for 2006 (although some firms still haven't sent in the new form). Seems like most of the LA firms are jumping on the 135k bandwagon.

Thanks, I made a few edits and ran a search to make sure I got all the ~$2800 firms, but otherwise I won't be updating those lists anymore.

Also, as I noted, Jones Day's number seems whacked.

Oops, missed that one. LeBoeuf doesn't have a separate NALP form for their LA office.

$150k/yr = $50/hr assuming you are working 60 hours a week.

Hey, and it also equals $100/hr assuming you're working 30 hours a week! How about not making random assumptions and getting some data instead?
