"Addleshaws has broken the cosy Manchester consensus by offering 40k to NQs. I could almost hear the equity partners of Manchester choking on their cornflakes as they struggled to the realisation that they are going to have to get their wallets out. Expect a new mid-tier standard of 35k-36k, a "bubbling under" rate of 37k-38k, with the 3 big boys at 40k." – Legal Week Wiki
