There's been a lot of hubbub lately about increases in law firm associate pay. But is there also some upward pressure on how much summer associates are raking in?
At the end of July, ALM Intelligence—a division of ALM Media—released the results of its annual summer associate hiring survey, which shows some signs of rising summer associate pay.
Among the 67 Am Law 200 and Global 100 firms that disclosed pay for both the 2017 and 2018 surveys, the average weekly salary inched up from $3,308 in 2017 to $3,322 in 2018. But five firms increased pay by more than 5 percent year-on-year: Nixon Peabody, Dorsey & Whitney, Faegre Baker Daniels, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton, and Duane Morris.
