Five months after closing 2019 with record-setting revenue, Mayer Brown on Wednesday announced plans to reduce salaries by 15% for nonequity lawyers and staff who make more than $200,000.

In a statement, the Chicago-based law firm disclosed that it had already reduced distributions for equity partners in March. Salaries for business services staff who earn less than $200,000 will see their pay reduced according to a graduated scale. The firm has also pushed back the start date for its U.S. associate class from fall 2020 to January 2021.
