Does anyone know what firms like Robbins Geller pay summers per week?

Re: Top plaintiffs' firms salary and bonuses?
Do top plaintiffs firm like Lieff Cabraser, Cohen Milstein, etc. pay clerkship bonuses?
If so, are they comparable to big law market rate clerkship bonuses?

Re: Top plaintiffs' firms salary and bonuses?
Can speak for LCHB. They do pay clerkship bonuses. They are nowhere near the big law rate. Think 30-50% of what big law would pay for a clerkship bonus. Not sure about dual clerkship bonuses, but I would assume you get more for 2 clerkships, but overall still significantly less than big law rates.yankees12345! wrote:Do top plaintiffs firm like Lieff Cabraser, Cohen Milstein, etc. pay clerkship bonuses?

Re: Top plaintiffs' firms salary and bonuses?
Does anyone have any insight into what the salary/bonus scale is at Pulaski Law firm? I heard they're exclusively handling the Juul litigation (which seems suspect, but that's what I heard), so I imagine bonuses would be huge (?)

Re: Top plaintiffs' firms salary and bonuses?
Not sure about salary scale, but if by "exclusively handling" you mean they are the only firm on that case, that's definitely not true. If you mean "exclusively handling" as in that's their only case, the bonuses will be non-existent unless they filed literally thousands of PI cases in the MDL or the JCCP.rachelzane wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 2:54 pmDoes anyone have any insight into what the salary/bonus scale is at Pulaski Law firm?

Re: Top plaintiffs' firms salary and bonuses?
Not one of the original posters. Was a biglaw junior, hated defense work and really sold my desire to switch sides. The problem you might run into is the associate ranks are usually much smaller than biglaw. Like my firm is 2.5 partners per associate. So it’s very difficult to find an opening. I am only 1 of 2 former biglaw associates that didn’t clerk. Everyone else clerked except for 2 that were summers.proleteriate wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2017 2:19 pmdon't want to derail, but how did y'all get into these firms? I'm currently interviewing for post-clerkship firms, and am extremely interested in larger Plaintiff firms. Do most of y'all start as juniors or lateral in from biglaw?
Work at the leading p side antitrust firm (a few could claim this, but it’s a group of 2-3). Do antitrust mostly, but also a range of human rights work as well and other consumer cases like data breaches. associates make 120-165k plus bonuses. Usual associate bonuses are 50k on low end to 200+ in a good year. I make more than I did in biglaw.
Also no one is “exclusively” handling the Juul litigation. It’s getting MDLed and there will be a huge leadership structure if it’s not already in place. I could name a bunch of firms off the top of my head that have filed juul cases, including my own.
