100 dollar bills in stacks bonus money benjaminsEveryone on the West Coast today seems to be really excited about giving money to their associates hand over fist, because we’ve got an update from one of the most genteel California firms around. We’ve just been told that Munger Tolles & Olson, home to many former Supreme Court clerks and current Ninth Circuit judges, has raised associate salaries to match the new Cravath scale.

Tipsters tell us that the salary match was announced today at a firm lunch, and the news was met with cheers of joy and applause. A memo with the details of the match is forthcoming, but we’re told that it’s an exact Cravath match. As soon as we receive the firm’s internal pay-raise memorandum, we will post it here for readers to see.

Congratulations to everyone at Munger Tolles! What an exciting time to be an associate!

Remember, we are covering this trend extensively, so please drop us a line — text (646-820-8477) or email (subject line: “[Firm Name] Matches Cravath”) — when you know of another firm making a compensation move. 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. All sources are kept strictly confidential.
