Anyone have PPP info for these firms? It would be interesting to see how many firms with lower PPP have matched.

Everyone in BigTTTex disses Jones Day, but alas they are paying 150.....

Besides Kelley Drye, are any of these NY-based firms?

Baker Botts raised in DC as well.

"Besides Kelley Drye, are any of these NY-based firms?"

Nixon Peabody is NY-based. The question is, with about 5 offices in NY state, where in NY are they based? In any event, they haven't matched in Manhattan and do not come close to even touching the old $145K standard in their other NY offices.

I always thought of Nixon Peabody as a Rochester-based firm. To clarify, I did mean NYC-based.

Actually, Nixon is technically based in Boston.

Baker Botts should have an asterisk, rather than a cross-out, being as they haven't raised in the majority of their offices.

These salary analysis is a lot more complex than matched or not matched. BB did not raise in the majority of their offices. Some firms compressed their senior associate salaries. More detailed analysis is needed!

Good for Thelen. I'm really curious to see what the addition of Brown Raysman does to help their Vault ranking. They're a formidable firm.

Curtis, Mallet in NYC raised effective March 1. Announced in person last week.

Does Greenberg Traurig need to be added to the "sorta" list of shame? They've raised in New York, but I don't think they have anywhere else. Anyone know?

Williams & Connolly should also make the list of shame. Although their salaries are par with other DC offices, they have not raised their base -- and given the fact that they don't pay bonuses, they are far under market.

Reed Smith is cheap, I hear

A lot of firms are cheap when you look at senior associate compression. Let's look into this.

Can we stick with a methodology of determining the top 100 firms or produce charts of both? I would suggest we use the AMLAW 100 list.

Kelley Drye just matched "local markets."

I think AmLaw 100 is better and more objective than the Vault list.

Kelley Drye matched.

whither crowell on the list of shame?

Why does BB get a strike-thru?? Of course Fulbright and VE are gonna match in DC and NYC, but we need to keep pushing for Texas!!

I like the "*" idea versus a strike-thru.

We need a "*" system for firms that 1) did not match in all markets they are in, 2) did not apply the increase to all associates, or 3) did not match up the chain for senior associates.

Kelley Drye matched "local markets" meaning just in NY?

Law firm charts already exist elsewhere:

There was a reference to increases in "all offices" in the e-mail. KDW's offices are NY-NJ-CT-DC-Tyson's-Chicago, so obvs. no relevance to West Coast.

ok McGuire Woods. you are on the friggin clock, and have been for some time. What is going on in DC / Northern Virginia, Atlanta, Chicago, NYC????

Are you a national big boy or just a little lost bully from Richmond who needs to find his way home? Time to come to the party!

V&E to announce raises effective March 1st..

9:44- pure speculation or actual knowledge?

Not funny if it's the former...

Hunton & Williams ....

H&W revisits salaries every April. Don't hold your breath.

I know from 2 sources that Dorsey raised a few weeks ago.

9:44 - When will V&E announce? Any sense of the numbers?

NY to 190
NY to 190

For $190k a firm could hire three non top 10% Loyola grads. Surely three Loyola grads >= one top school grad.

L2L, except when you factor in the liability for your errors.

Hunton & Williams just announced internally that it is matching NY at $160 and all other offices at $145 for first years.
