Biglaw Firm Plays Ball On Associate Salaries
So these mo#he3f*ck3rs have increased associate salaries.
Mo#h3rf*ck3r. Don’t worry, it doesn’t sting because they call themselves MoFo. Even though it is late in the day (at least on the East Coast), it’s official! Morrison & Foerster has moved over to the Cravath scale for all U.S. associates.
The effective date of the increases is July 1, as has been the industry standard, and the classes of 2015 and 2016 will both be bumped to $180,000.
Law Firm Business Development Is More Than Relationship Building
