For Law Firm Associates, It's Been a Decade of Thrills and Chills

It was a wild ride for associates at big law firms during the first decade of the century. In the end, most everyone was a little queasy from the experience. Between 2000 and 2009, law firms doled out jaw-dropping bonuses, lavished benefits and hiked first-year salaries to a point that drew the envy of federal judges.

Associates Survey 2008

Smaller firms often outscore larger ones on our annual survey of midlevel job satisfaction. It may be because a more intimate atmosphere breeds happiness. Maybe it's because associates have more responsibility. Perhaps it's because they have a better chance of making partner. In these charts, firms are grouped roughly according to size. In the first category are firms whose annual gross revenues are too low to qualify for the Am Law 200. These are the smallest firms that took part in our survey. In the second category are Am Law Second Hundred firms?numbers 101-200 on the most recent Am Law 200 survey (July.)
