Our recent open thread about boutique law firms prompted another request for more beyond-Biglaw discussion:
Not really a tip, but how ’bout a thread on midsize firms — not quite big law, which has been going on for a while, and not quite boutique, which you just recently posted. I’m talking 75-200 attorney type firms that still pay $125K-$150K base in New York (don’t know much about other regions).
Our tipster provided a few examples of the firms in question, with starting salaries (note — we have not independently verified these numbers):

Legal work isn’t slowing down, and the firms that win won’t be the ones working harder — they’ll be the ones working smarter.
pryor cashman – 140k
anderson kill – 140k
herrick feinstein – 150k
otterbourg – 150k
olshan grundman – 150k
fox rothschild (philly-based) – 125k
If you have information to share on year-end bonuses (or compensation more generally) at midsize / regional law firms, please share in the comments. It would be optimal if you could identify the firm by name; but if you can’t, please provide as much information as possible. Thanks.
