Salaries Continue To Climb At This Law Firm Thanks To Milbank
Associates are thrilled.
It’s been less than a week since the new market standard salary was announced, and compensation changes abound at law firms of all sizes across the country. The race is on to match Milbank’s new salary scale, and even boutique firms have realized that the time is now to raise salaries once again.
That’s where real-estate boutique Duval & Stachenfeld — the home of our longtime columnist, Bruce Stachenfeld — comes in. We hear that earlier today, managing partner Terri Adler announced that D&S would be adopting the Milbank scale. In case you’ve forgotten, this is what that salary scale looks like:
| Class | Salary |
| 2021 | $215,000 |
| 2020 | $225,000 |
| 2019 | $250,000 |
| 2018 | $285,000 |
| 2017 | $325,000 |
| 2016 | $350,000 |
| 2015 | $370,000 |
| 2014+ | $385,000 |
Congratulations to everyone at Duval & Stachenfeld!
