It’s only the second full week that Biglaw’s summer 2021 raise season has been in effect, and everyone is trying to get in on the action, even boutique law firms. This time around, it’s Ross Aronstam & Moritz, a Delaware litigation firm founded by lawyers from Wachtell, Weil, and Kellogg Hansen. This small, specialized firm has been paying out big-time salaries to its attorneys for quite some time — and now it’s on board with a Davis Polk match.

Here’s what salaries for associates at Ross Aronstam will look like as of July 1:

  • 2021: $205,000
  • 2020: $205,000
  • 2019: $215,000
  • 2018: $240,000
  • 2017: $275,000
  • 2016: $305,000
  • 2015: $330,000
  • 2014: $350,000
  • 2013: $365,000

Back in April, the firm announced special bonuses in line with those that dominated the market. Check out the firm’s bonus scale, below:
