Money StackBetter late than never. It’s the motto of the post office and sexually active teens everywhere. It’s also the phrase percolating throughout the halls of WilmerHale’s offices, as one of the higher-profile holdouts in the MoneyLaw wars comes into the fold.

WilmerHale announced a new salary structure today, and it follows the Cravath scale up through $315K. You’ll note that WilmerHale is unique in that it doesn’t actually have associates beyond sixth years, instead moving the next rung to counsel status. We haven’t heard a lot about counsel compensation yet — what we have we are gathering into a future post — but at least we have a sense of what they’re getting here.

The raises apply across WilmerHale’s U.S. offices, which, as a refresher, include New York, Boston, Washington, Los Angeles, Palo Alto, and Denver. So now there’s some pressure in the Denver market of all places.

Congratulations!

Remember, when your firm matches, please text us (646-820-8477) or email us (subject line: “[Firm Name] Matches Cravath”). Please include the memo if available. You can take a photo of the memo and send it via text or email if you don’t want to forward the original PDF or Word file.
