Associates At Biglaw Firm Now Really Bringing In The Dough
Poppin' fresh salary news.
He-hee.
Nothing says lovin’ like salary increases in the oven. It is this tortured series of references that bring us to the news that Pillsbury has matched the prevailing salary scale.
After flirting with a merger earlier this year, Pillsbury is closing out the year with some good news for its attorneys.
The firm follows a slightly different classification system than most:
| Class | Bonus |
| First-years | $225K |
| Second-years | $235K |
| Third-years | $260K |
| Fourth-years | $310K |
| Fifth-years | $365K |
| Senior Associate 1 | $390K |
| Senior Associate 2 | $420K |
| Counsel | $435K |
As for bonuses, the firm commits to maintaining its established market bonus and super bonus formula. So that’s a match based on the corresponding class year and, if the past remains the guide, an additional $50,000 on top of these numbers for top performers.
