All,
We know our associates work hard on challenging matters—and we are very grateful for your dedication and superb work.
Keeping Law School Accessible When Federal Loans Fall Short
As federal borrowing caps tighten financing options for law students, one organization is stepping in to negotiate the terms they can't secure alone.
With thanks for all you do, we are pleased to announce that associate salaries will increase, effective July 1, 2021, as follows:
| Class | Salary |
| 2021 | $202,500 |
| 2020 | $205,000 |
| 2019 | $215,000 |
| 2018 | $240,000 |
| 2017 | $275,000 |
| 2016 | $305,000 |
| 2015 | $330,000 |
| 2014 | $350,000 |
Summer associate salaries will also be raised on a prorated basis to match the Class of 2020 salary, effective July 1, 2021.
As you know, earlier this year we announced our intention, once again, to exceed the bonus scale established by other market-leading firms. We anticipate paying year-end bonuses significantly above the 2021 market for all associates who are meeting or exceeding the Firm’s expectations.
Protégé™ In CourtLink® Explains The Whole Case Faster
Designed to reduce manual docket work by prioritizing what litigators need most: on-demand full docket summarization that explains the whole case to date, followed by on-demand document summaries for filing triage, and AI-powered natural language searching for faster search and retrieval.
Going forward, based on feedback from our associates, we intend to pay lockstep bonuses for 1st through 3rd year classes. The Firm will continue to pay differentiated bonuses for 4th year classes and above consistent with associate performance.
Thank you for your invaluable contributions to the Firm!
