Skaddenfreude: The IP Shops

Here’s an open thread to discuss compensation developments at intellectual property firms. We’ll kick off the discussion with this tip:

Morgan & Finnegan (following competitors Dickstein, Fitzpatrick Cella, Kenyon & Kenyon, and Fish & Richardson) is now at $160,000/year effective April 1. Most of the associates are in the New York office, so I’m not sure how this affects DC.

This year’s summer class is making more then 25% more than last year’s summer class. (The firm didn’t go to $135K for regular associates until the middle of last summer, and they didn’t adjust summer associate salaries.)

We don’t want to leave the IP folks out of all the fun. Please gossip away in the comments!
