I’m very interested to find out more about Silver circle rates post NQ. It seems they used to bleed associates a lot less than the MC. Is it quite a decent package then?
]]>My guess is they’d already decided a number then FBD threw a massive spanner in the works and they’re having to look again. I’d already heard rumours of fairly chunky raises though.
]]>Nobody cares
]]>Really? Your decision would be made over a couple hundred pounds net in your account a month (not to be sneezed at, just curious)? What else are you basing this on?
]]>SPB did confirm yesterday that they are committing to increasing NQ pay to “at least” £65k in the regions and £100k in London.
They confirmed that it will be higher than that if the market at the time demands.
]]>Ahead of CMS too. Complicates things further as they have historically paid less.
]]>Because at least they have the decency to offer a competitive salary, unlike the rest of the regional outfits.
]]>LC – it is evident from the number of comments that people are willing to collaborate. Make this happen and junior lawyers will flog to your website and you will be gaining a lot of respect from people who will go on to become senior lawyers in the city.
]]>Because one of the interesting things, my interesting thing is very specific and I asked in my email for that to remain confidential. You could probably round up the specific people who that circumstance applies to and find out who it is.
]]>I see Squires hitting 60-62k (currently paying 55k I believe). I think they increased to 55k before DLA’s power move to 65k which kicked off the regional pay war and so might still be yet to respond.
I see Shooeys increasing to 55 – 58k (currently paying 50k). I think 55k is most likely, after all they’re not on the level for the 60k+ firms (ES, DLA, AG). If they were to hit 60k that would definitely transcend them from the Mills and Reeve / Gateley crowd.
I dip the chips in the garlic butter and the steak juice.
]]>lol, CC better do better otherwise, I am ending up at FF.
]]>I know Shooeys does a summer pay review so this is a good bet.
An increase at Squires also seems likely but climbing in the ring with DLA at £65k NQ would be a big move. Then again everyone I know there has punishingly long hours by regional standards.
Are you not ordering the peppercorn sauce on the side to dip your chips in?
]]>CC is doing its salary review as it always does, backdated to May. So we will see soon. Rumour is a 120k NQ.
]]>Another regional rumour is that Shooeys are increasing salaries. No word on the amount though.
]]>Believe it when I see it. Imagine squires matching DLA and ahead of AG, ES and PM
]]>Salary bunching in London is very real at DLA
]]>Lots of firms including the Firm I am joining review salaries at the beginning of July and then backdate them to May
Could be waiting to see what the rest of the market does in the meantime!
]]>Why are DLA a class outfit in terms of banding? Genuine question. Only saw regional salaries on the other thread.
