Nationwide Pay Raise Watch: Two New Rumors

Two things we’ve heard recently (the first more definitive than the second):

1. Howrey LLP: Last week, they made a “secret announcement” — nothing in writing — of associate pay raises in Chicago, California, and Washington, DC.

2. Baker & McKenzie: In their Chicago office (and perhaps others), they sent around a memo similar to the Jenner & Block memo. It was basically “a non-committal memo, pledging to remain competitive, and acknowledging recent associate salary adjustments in the market.”

If you can provide us with more details, or have some associate pay raise news not previously reported herein, please drop us a line. Thanks.
Update: The Howrey raises have been announced, but not yet implemented. When they will take effect, and whether they will be made retroactive, is unclear.
