That’s why Addleshaw Goddard LLP is taking a market-leading, visionary approach: NQ salaries frozen for another year, bonuses flat and PQE raises, less than inflation.

This is a public message to all partners at other firms, you don’t need to increase salaries. No one’s leaving. It’s all a myth that we have fallen for. The market isn’t moving, the talent isn’t going anywhere, and we’re proving you can hold the line by paying the bare minimum.

We’re proud to be setting the precedent: pay doesn’t have to go up.
