The firms with the lowest partner pay ratios have kept the distance short for the last couple of years, at roughly 4-to-1 or less, according to ALM survey data.
The group includes Butler Snow; Cadwalader; Goulston & Storrs; Bond Schoeneck; Bracewell; and Morris Manning.
The survey data includes nearly 100 firms.

Partner pay spreads continue to expand in Big Law. But not every firm is stretching the gap between its highest- and lowest-paid equity partners.
