More Calif. Firms Follow Orrick's Move to $160K Associate Pay

The dominoes are falling in the latest round of associate salary increases. O'Melveny & Myers and Morrison & Foerster have announced that they'll follow Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe's lead and raise pay for California first-years to $160,000. As to whether smaller law firms will do likewise and face up to higher salary costs, one recruiter said, "It puts more pressure on the midsized California firms. This is just another chink in the armor that makes the divide more and more apparent."

Justices Ponder Heavy Patent Docket

When the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in a David vs. Goliath battle over printer ink, the justices sat not only at the intersection of patent and antitrust law but in the middle of their heaviest patent docket in 40 years. So what's happened to awaken the sleeping giant of appellate review? A constellation of factors, according to scholars and litigators, not the least of which is unhappiness with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Associate Salary War Moves to Midwest

The associate salary war has spread from the coasts to the middle of the United States, with law firms boosting starting pay to stay competitive in a market where demand is mounting and the supply of top-notch first-years is waning. Though Midwest law firms aren't matching the $135,000-plus salaries of the big firms on the East and West coasts, some, such as Denver-based Holme Roberts & Owen, are raising salaries by 17 percent, to $105,000, to stay competitive with national firms with local outposts.

Sullivan & Cromwell has kicked off the year-end bonus season by announcing additional compensation starting at $30,000 for first-year associates and ranging up to $50,000 for senior associates.

Most Calif. Firms Still Not Matching N.Y. Associates' Pay

More California-based firms are opting for a segmented associate salary scale, hiking pay to $160,000 in New York offices but implementing a $145,000 scale on the West Coast. But a move from another large firm could be enough to force firms that have raised to less than $160,000 to go the rest of the way, says recruiter Avis Caravello. "Let's say Latham goes to 160 -- there's no way O'Melveny or Gibson will stand by and let it happen," she says. "All you need is for one big California firm to do it."

Wall Street Severance Pay Shrinks

Analyst Jack Grubman left Salomon Smith Barney with a $32 million severance package -- the most glittering of golden parachutes. Unlike Grubman, however, most Wall Streeters are facing the era of the incredible shrinking severance package.
