Top 30 Biglaw Firm Finally Announces Its First Salary Wars Match

// With salary news coming from the Biglaw world with fast and furious speed ever since late January, some firms have been content to remain silent and stand watching on the sidelines — until now.

Mayer Brown, a firm ranked at No. 22 on the Am Law 100, with $1,517,100,000 gross revenue in 2020, didn’t match Milbank back in January. The firm didn’t even match Davis Polk in February. But it’s better late than never at Mayer Brown, because now it’s March, and the firm is coming out in style with a big, fat Cravath match.

Here’s what the salary scale will soon look like at the firm:
