There’s nothing quite like finding out that you’re getting a raise on a Monday morning. That’s what happened at Sidley Austin today, and associates seem to be quite pleased. Was there ever any doubt that the firm would risk not raising its salaries and drop to a lower pay tier? Of course not.

The firm, which came in at #6 in the last Am Law 100 ranking, taking $2,462,935,000 gross revenue in 2020, made the announcement earlier today that associate salaries would be bumped up to meet the Davis Polk scale.

Here’s what the new salaries looks like at Sidley:

  • 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

Congratulations to everyone at at the firm!
