DC firm salary ($160k) increase?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 25th, 2007 12:04 AM Author: Aphrodisiac pit organic girlfriend so my NYC-based DC firm was starting at $145k base, but I hear rumors that all top NYC firms are raising to $160k.
Anyone know anything about raises for DC firms that were already offering $145k? |

Date: January 25th, 2007 8:58 AM Author: Insanely creepy nursing home cuck Can you not fucking read? Even if you'd just click on any link at random, you'd probably find the info you're looking for. Most DC firms whose main office is in NYC are going to $160k (e.g., Skadden, Cleary, Debevoise, etc.). So far, OMM has only raised to $145k, but that might change depending on what the major DC firms do. HTH (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=569368&forum_id=2#7482371) |

|
Date: January 30th, 2007 5:48 PM Author: Sexy Area Pistol So for the moment, a little over 700 at 160 firms v. a little under 700 at 145 firms. That said, most of NYC has moved and a lot of DC has not. DC will follow Covington and Hogan. GDC will follow OMM. Kirkland and Mayer will (actually, Mayer just did per ATL) follow Sidley and Jenner.
Other than the few NYC offices left and MAYBE Latham, that's probably it for 160K in DC. |

|
Date: January 30th, 2007 5:57 PM Author: Sexy Area Pistol I just don't see what the incentive is for Wilmer. The top of DC would follow them and they'd be no better off, except maybe vis-a-vis Skadden, but I don't even really think that matters much.
Plus they have to deal with Boston, where I think Ropes will set $145K. I don't think they can go 160 in DC without going 160 everywhere.
They'd save a lot of money by going 160 in NYC and 145 everywhere else and I'm not sure how much they gain by going to 160 everywhere. |

Latham might. For better or worse, they're starting to think they're Skadden. |
|
Date: January 31st, 2007 10:23 AM Author: Passionate tank hospital If they were going to go to 160K, why would they wait so long? It's possible that they want to ambush the cheapskates who are staying at 145K, but it seems more likely that they're waiting to make sure that they can safely stay at 145K themselves.

Date: January 30th, 2007 5:57 PM Author: Obsidian dragon Great find Indubitably.
I suspect this is the way things will stay. So far, I don't believe a single firm went from $135K to $160K. A&P won't be the first to do it. It looks like Latham or Wilmer are the only hopes, but they don't have much incentive to make the leap to $160K (after all, who would pick the NY firms over Wilmer?). |

Date: January 30th, 2007 6:38 PM Author: Obsidian dragon I thought Fish was at 145K, but I guess you're right.
Fried Frank was also at 135K last year, but they raised to 145K a couple weeks before Simpson's raises.
Were there any other firms? |

Date: January 31st, 2007 12:51 PM Author: Sexy Area Pistol I said that above. But its looks like that's gonna be the deal. Ropes will announce now at 160/145. Same with AP.
Don't know what Kirkland and Latham with do but even if they go 160 its not going to move the DC and other non-NYC DC offices.
I mean, I don't think it will hurt them much with laterals who understand there is a potential difference with regard to lifestyle and quality of work. And I don't think its going to hurt Wilmer, Covington, Hogan, A&P, et. al.
But I think it will hurt the Akin, King Spalding, Hunton, etc. contigent who know have no chance of taking any students, not just from the elite DC firms, but from literally any NYC firm. They're going to be bottom feeding like a motherfucker. |

Date: February 16th, 2007 11:46 AM Author: Azure forum corn cake I am going to work at a large DC firm and am close with a partner on the compensation committee. He told me that the biggest issue they faced in determining whether to raise first year salaries to $160,000 was that the billing rates for 2007 had already been set in place before the raise. Therefore, most DC firms (including mine) moved up to $145,000. He said they strongly considered going to $160,000; but given the fact that the firm is not based in NYC and that partners felt that only NYC billing rates were high enough to support such a large increase, the firm settled at $145,000. He expects they will be forced to re-examine first-year compensation next year and went so far as to say that he expects salaries will be at $160,000 across the board at this time next year. As far as the effect on summer associate and first-year hiring, he did not seem too concerned about losing candidates (people on this board tend to have a very different view of the summer associate program than most partners... for obvious reasons).
