For the first time since 2007, AmLaw 200 firms are raising associate salaries. The new standard scale is:

1st year = $180,000
2nd year = $190,000
3rd year = $210,000
4th year = $235,000
5th year = $260,000
6th year = $280,000
7th year = $300,000

For a quick refresher, most firms (aside for some regional differences) in the US were paying first year associates $70,000 in 1993. In 1997 first years were paid $83,000 and in 2000 salaries went up to $125,000. In 2006 there was a raise to $145,000 and in 2007, buoyed by a robust economy, first year associate salaries went up to $160,000.

Adjusted for inflation, first year associates have been paid equivalent to $175,000 since 2000. Until last month, when 1st year associates were still being paid $160,000, one could say they were underpaid compared to historical trends. So a raise to $180,000 is probably correct for the market.

So which firms have raised salaries so far? The list below outlines each firm that has raised with a hyperlink to the post on AboveTheLaw.com that outlines the firm’s detailed compensation.
