PHILADELPHIA — Drinker Biddle & Reath’s decision to reduce first-year associate starting salaries for the first six months of the year to $105,000, in favor of creating a training program, has been greeted with open arms by the law schools graduating these attorneys.
As first reported Monday, in place of a larger paycheck with an instant requirement of billable hours, Drinker Biddle associates this September will be part of a training program for those six months without that pressure. The new associates can then expect their salaries to rise to “market rate” at the end of the six months. The current starting salary in Philadelphia is $145,000.
