The Money Is Really Moneying At This Biglaw Firm!
Wow, much money! Very capital!
Nothing brightens the first of the month quite like more money in your pocket.
Latham & Watkins, which grossed a whopping $4,333,763,000 gross revenue in 2020, continues its trend of money moves by matching Cravath’s freshly released salary scale. (But that’s not all — check out the cash that 9th years will be receiving… $425K!)
The raises will be retroactive to January 1 and will hit bank accounts in March. While they may in second place on the American Lawyer’s 2021 Am Law 100 ranking, this type of money is second to none. Who is next to follow (law) suit?
