What’s better than two raises in less than two months’ time? Three raises!

Cadwalader was the very first firm to match the Milbank scale back in January. Then the firm quickly matched the Davis Polk scale. Now, the firm is matching the Cravath scale.

Here’s what the generous new salary scale looks like at CWT:

Cadwalader Cravath Match Scale 2022

Just like the firm’s last two raises, its third will also be retroactive to January 1. Once again, congratulations to everyone at the firm!
