Top 5 Biglaw Firm Is Here To Give Associates Raises For The Third Time

// Money RainAs Biglaw firms continue to make it rain during the latest (and perhaps final) round of the 2022 salary wars, associates are keeping their eyes glued to their inboxes, impatiently waiting for their firms to make matches. Now, one of the biggest Biglaw firms of all has entered the scene — for the third time — to give its associates more money.

Baker McKenzie, a firm that brought in $2,899,834,000 gross revenue in 2020, making it the No. 4 firm in the latest Am Law 100 ranking, recently announced that it would be matching Cravath. If you recall, the firm was an early adopter of both the Milbank salary scale that was released in January and the Davis Polk salary scale that was released just last week.

Here’s Baker McKenzie’s new salary scale:

The firm’s salary increases are retroactive to January 1, and associates will see more money in their March 25 paychecks. Congratulations, for the third time!
