Another Biglaw Firm Rewards Associates With Second Round Of Raises

// Another Biglaw firm is dumping big money on associates to stay at the top of the salary mountain.

The latest firm to announce their own match of the Cravath scale is none other than Schulte Roth & Zabel, which took in $444,700,000 in gross revenue in 2020, making it 90th in the Am Law 100. The firm previously announced a match of the Davis Polk scale, but now that Cravath has come over the top, so has Schulte.
