As you may have guessed, this post is about Goodwin Procter, who is joining the ranks of the $190K salary scale with an announcement moments ago. It’s a full match, including summer bonuses and an adjustment to summer associate salaries.
This certainly isn’t surprising, but it’s nice to let the associates know before they sweat out another weekend wondering.
The best news in the memo may be for counsel — the often overlooked attorneys in a salary bonanza. Goodwin’s memo doesn’t lay out salaries at that level, but promises more news in the very near future. Kudos to Goodwin for taking the time to let these senior attorneys know they are still appreciated. And even though the new numbers didn’t arrive with the counsel figures, Goodwin pledges to make any change effective July 1 as well.
