Date: February 10th, 2006 5:43 PM Author: domesticated old irish cottage newt Is there really any doubt that eventually every firm in every city that currently pays market will be paying 145,000, even if some are hesitant at first? Clearly, a firm that considers itself competitive is not going to suddenly pay 10-20,000 less than other firms in the cities-that would have a huge impact on recruiting. It just seems silly that people (on monkeyscribe or ga) are talking about transferring to firms that pay 145,000. Clearly, if you work for a firm that currently pays market, it is overwhelmingly likely that you will also soon be paid $145,000 (or more, I suppose, if someone re-raises).

Date: February 10th, 2006 3:20 PM Author: Walnut Stock Car LA Offices
Starting salaries
145k - Sullivan, Simpson, Milbank, LeBoeuf, Dewey, Skadden, Quinn, White & Case, Susman Godfrey 140k - Fulbright 135k - Irell, Munger, Gibson, O'Melveny, Paul Hastings, DLA Piper, Sheppard Mullin, Latham, MoFo, Manatt, Sidley, Kirkland, Sonnenschein, Orrick, Heller Ehrman, Proskauer, Morgan Lewis, Pillsbury, Thelen, Bingham, Foley, Katten Muchin, Bryan Cave, Jones Day, Christensen Miller
* 135k firms lag 145k firms by 15k or more after the first or second year, except for Kirkland, Proskauer, Latham, and Gibson (10k difference for all years)
Summer salaries (no longer updating this, see nalpdirectory.com)
2800 - Skadden 2788* - Simpson, Sullivan, Dewey, Milbank, White & Case, LeBoeuf 2600 - O'Melveny, Foley, Quinn, Latham, Gibson, Irell 2596 - Proskauer, Jones Day** 2590 - Paul Hastings
* See this post on why $2788 salaries are actually less: http://www.xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=361369&mc=15&forum_id=2 ** Jones Day's NALP form says $2812.50/wk which doesn't sound right. Note that 2812.5 * 4 weeks * 12 months = $135k. |

Date: February 10th, 2006 3:40 PM Author: Walnut Stock Car MoFo also held off on deciding NY raises, like Latham.

"You may have been following recent stories concerning the salaries at New York City law firms. Earlier this week, Simpson Thacher increased annual first year associate salaries by $20,000 to $145,000. The salaries for associates in other classes increased by similar amounts. This salary increase will also apply to new associates from the class of 2006. The summer salary will be the weekly proration of that amount.
On a separate note, we want to remind you that Friday is the deadline for submitting your responses on summernet. We appreciate the submissions received from many of you and look forward to hearing from everyone by the end of the week.
For those of you spending your summer in NY, if you have not yet responded to the section on summernet polling your interest in various types of summer events, please add to the list of options tickets to select a performance at Brooklyn Academy of Music.
Best, Dee "

|
Date: February 10th, 2006 8:23 PM Author: Translucent unhinged trump supporter I'm not sure why. Most other industries adjust their salaries to the cost of living of the area where their offices are located, at least to some extent. It's always seemed a little funny that law firms treat the subject as taboo and have to make the adjustments in the bonus rather than in base salary. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=357285&forum_id=2#5052000) |
|
Date: February 10th, 2006 9:58 PM Author: Burgundy therapy travel guidebook Supply and demand, baby. Costs are never a determining factor of "price," at least in theory. If law firms want the best candidates, they have to be willing to pay the competitive price. COL often helps low COL markets in competing with high COL markets, but you could imagine how much a firm based in Iowa City would have to pay to get a 100 summer associates from HYS. It would certainly be more than what NYC is paying, even though the COL is dirt cheap. Why? Low supply of top candidates willing to move there and (assumed) high demand for such candidates. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=357285&forum_id=2#5052642) |
|
Date: February 11th, 2006 12:34 PM Author: Translucent unhinged trump supporter But why are you assuming there's either more demand or less of a supply of associates who want to work in Chicago than want to work in New York? It's notoriously easier to get a legal job in New York than elsewhere, signaling that the supply there is lower or the demand is higher. Makes sense they'd pay a little more if they have an unusually large number of jobs there that need to be filled, and not all associates find New York an attractive place to work.
At the very least, I think it's reasonable to assume the price at all large cities would not be the same. |
|
Date: February 17th, 2006 5:07 PM Author: Chartreuse Pistol Spot In theory, costs are the determining factor of supply. Supply = marginal cost (from the Microeconomic perspective). Law firms demand the labor, attorneys supply the labor. COL is certainly a part of the aggregate supply curve for any geographic market, along with other aggregate opportunity costs (such as the cost of giving up the opportunity to be in a more desirable location).
|
|
Date: February 17th, 2006 6:53 PM Author: Burgundy therapy travel guidebook Agreed, but it isn't a direct relationship as this person was suggesting. Firms in Denver or Miami aren't paying half of what NYC is paying, even though COL would suggest they should. It's not a "determining factor," although that may not be the best term for what I'm trying to say. COL is certainly a competitive factor, but it doesn't have any affect on what law firms would be willing to pay(except to the extent COL affects legal fees and they simply can't pay above a certain amount). It only affects what associates are willing to accept (the lowest they can), but if demand drives the price up to $200k, an associate wouldn't accept $199k (in theory), even though that is much more than they could get in NYC. To suggest that you could "adjust salaries" to meet COL, as the above poster suggested, is overly simplistic. I don't see you moving to Iowa, even if they did pay $200k. :)
My understanding may be incorrect, but you charge cost because there is competition that pushes price down to cost, not *because* that's what it costs you to produce the product. You'd gladly charge more if you could, like the associates living in Iowa, but may be forced to charge your cost because of competition. |
|
Date: February 18th, 2006 4:14 PM Author: Chartreuse Pistol Spot All costs are determining factors. Collectively, they make up the total cost curve from which the marginal cost curve is derived. That is my only disagreement with you.
In your example, there is additional cost to top law students as a whole of being in Denver and Miami aside from the COL in those markets....and that is giving up working in a major legal market. Opportunity cost is equally important to economists as accounting cost.
Under this analysis, the reason why COL does not explain the entire salary difference is that the opportunity cost of giving up being in NYC (for law students as a class) exceeds the COL difference by $30k (for Miami). |

Greetings!!!
I need you to come tutor me for the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test). I am located in Tampa, Florida. My telephone number is: (813) 598-2899. Basically, what I need is a very good GMAT instructor who has taken the real test no more than a year ago with a score of 720 or above.
If this is you, then read on…
I will pay you tutor me. This is how it works: You first tutor me for free until I take the real GMAT. If I score above a 650, you get $1,000 for all your trouble. But, if I score above a 700, you get $5,000. Finally, here’s the best part: If I score above a 750, you get $10,000. I am talking about cash, pure cash, coming out of my pocket for you to tutor me.
If you are excited so far, then read on…
I agree to pay you to come to Tampa, Florida. I agree to pay for the hotel and flight accommodations. I agree to pick you up in a limo, or my brand new 2005 Camry (your choice). You will then be escorted to your hotel room for preparation to tutor me the very next day. You will be served three meals a day. You will have breakfast, lunch, and dinner with me at really good fancy restaurants. No, I am not talking about McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, but ten times better than that. You will enjoy for the next few weeks the hotel stay, and the food that I pay.
What happens after you tutor me…
When I see my unofficial score for the GMAT, I will then decide how much to pay you in cold cash. Then, you will be flying back home to tell all your friends about how much money you have made by tutoring me.
Have a nice weekend!
Thank you!!!

Email me if interested.
P.S. If instead of going through the trouble to tutor me, if you take the GMAT for me and score a 650, 700, or 750, I will pay four times the amount mentioned above. This means you will get $4,000 for scoring a 650, $20,000 for scoring a 700, and $40,000 for scoring a 750. This is a quick way to make money for your helpfulness!

Date: February 13th, 2006 8:24 AM Author: Dashing Shaky Dog Poop By the way, as someone who's actually worked at a law firm, here are some reasons why base is better than bonus:
1. Base can't really go down. A firm that pays $125K base + $35K bonus one year can pay $15K bonus the next for $140K all-in. A firm that pays $145K base + $15K bonus can't really go below $145K all-in, and most NY firms will probably feel compelled to pay a five-figure bonus, so a $145K base sets a $155K all-in floor, which is toward the high end of the recent market. Relatedly, as discussed above, *Skadden's* base sets a floor for other firms' all-in, so if Skadden also goes up $20K we've got a $160K all-in minimum, which again is not as good as 2000 but is pretty close to the top for recent years.
2. NY lawyers have high rents and student-loan debt, and if you've got monthly expenses you'd rather have monthly pay. There's a concomitant disadvantage here, which is that bonus probably encourages savings more than base does.
3. Lots of exit options have non-calendar-year timing. If a large percentage of your comp comes in December/January, it's harder to leave at other times in the year. If you're getting most of your money in base salary, you have more flexibility to leave.
There are no tax advantages, and the time-value advantage isn't really worth mentioning given the time and sums involved. |
|
Date: February 13th, 2006 7:49 PM Author: Insane black new version The benefit you point out in #2 is basically the time value advantage. Under a bonus system, you could just take out a loan to cover the monthly expenses that you later pay off plus interest with the bonus. The salary hike lets you cover these expenses without the interest, or time value. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=357285&forum_id=2#5078549) |
|
Date: February 13th, 2006 8:06 PM Author: Dashing Shaky Dog Poop That's fair, although 28-year-olds don't have completely efficient access to the capital markets. But, yes, essentially you're right. Points 1 and 3 are more important to me, though; if you can't live month to month on $125K you're in trouble. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=357285&forum_id=2#5078694) |

Dudes, nobody needs to take out a loan to cover their monthly expenses. That's retarded.
The time value of money advantage clearly resides with the bonus system, and like he said, the bonus system encourages savings. |
|
Date: February 13th, 2006 12:11 PM Author: well-lubricated razzle-dazzle organic girlfriend public bath This move effectively guarantees a raise in total comp. Simpson and Cleary have raised for *all* their domestic US offices. If they were to follow S&C's original statement, they'd have to drop bonuses from $35k to $15k to make up the difference. Assuming that they also want to keep paying their NY associates higher total compensation, that would mean that they'd have to pay non-NY associates an even lower bonus, somewhere in the range of $0 to $5k. That's the floor, and it's quite likely they'd go higher. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=357285&forum_id=2#5074173) |

Predictions anyone? Does this indicate that the salary increases have only begun in the top-top markets (they've got to top TX, but then what does NY do?) or is this just typical Texas--irrational exuberance and excess? |

Date: April 3rd, 2006 2:13 PM Author: Turquoise Exciting Chapel Subject: Some DC firms By Emma Schwartz Legal Times
The law firm associate salary race appears to be coming to a close.
Arnold & Porter, Howrey, Venable, and WilmerHale have all joined onto the recent wave of pay increases that boosted first-year salaries by $10,000 to $135,000 annually.
A few more tidbits: At Venable, all associates will see an increase of $10,000, but because pay doesn’t move in lockstep beyond the second year, the amount will vary for third-years and above.
At Wilmer, the firm has advertised its new rates online. Midlevel associates take note: Pay for third-years is $160,000, $180,000 for fourth-years, and $200,000 for fifth-years. The firm declined comment on why it posted salaries on the Web. |

Hey, and it also equals $100/hr assuming you're working 30 hours a week! How about not making random assumptions and getting some data instead? |
