I started in biglaw 8 years ago. There are 3 people from my class of ~25 left at my firm. However, the percentage still in biglaw but not at their original firm is quite a bit higher. I haven't kept up with all of them, but I'd say it's at least 30-40%.Wild Card wrote:The deadliest cancers have better five-year survival rates.

I want to ask what percentage of departing associates do so voluntarily, but now that I've kept track of and spoken to many of the associates who've left my firm, I myself couldn't say.

Curious if this will be limited to NYC or spread to D.C./California/Texas.

My v70 office (DC) literally just raised to 180 a few months ago. No way they bump it again. RIP

Are PPP's up much this year? I read they were stagnant except at superelite firms.

I honestly think if Cravath moved to 215, maybe 10 firms match in total. I highly doubt the rest of the v100 will follow a move like that. A lot of the v30-100 took months to even match 180.Anonymous User wrote:Word on the street is Cravath to 215 ...

Milbank is "superelite" financially speaking.

Re: NYC to 200k
Forcing separation could be ideal though. It would be a stark advantage in recruiting and retaining talent vis-a-vis all the rest, and would help justify higher billing rates.sparkytrainer wrote:I honestly think if Cravath moved to 215, maybe 10 firms match in total.

Yes but if the higher end firms are making more on that work, why give all the associated premium to the partners?sparkytrainer wrote:I dont disagree, but associates at the firms with $1 m PPP work just as hard as the firms at the higher end.lawposeidon wrote:I don't work in biglaw but it's INSANE that a firm with $4 to $6 million PPP pays Associates the same as a firm with $1 million PPP.sparkytrainer wrote:I honestly think if Cravath moved to 215, maybe 10 firms match in total.

This was arguably one of the goals of the 2016 raise, and it was not accomplished because the entire market shifted.Anonymous User wrote:Forcing separation could be ideal though.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a firm come up with $200k+ in order to really create a gap in perceived associate quality.

Re: NYC to 200k
Oh I totally agree that it would be beneficial for those firms vis-a-vis their associates and future recruiting efforts to completely out-price the competition for associate salaries. So while I have zero inside information at Cravath, I can imagine a ball-busting move by Cravath or one of the like.Anonymous User wrote:Forcing separation could be ideal though.

Re: NYC to 200k
There’s no real incentive to do this, because Cravath still gets top students and can charge top rates even while paying associates the same as firms with much lower PPPs.Anonymous User wrote:Forcing separation could be ideal though.

The firms with the most to gain are probably the Milbanks and Cahills of the world, but 10k probably isn’t enough to really cause separation from the lower ~V50. 10-15k does help a bit with retention, though, which is probably more what this move was about.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
