Debevoise Makes Its Salary Announcement -- With A Twist
Senior attorneys get a hefty raise.
The cascade of salary matches — from many firms, anyway — keep on coming. Debevoise, being the venerable firm that it is, has matched the Cravath salary structure as expected.
But there is one twist to their memo that reflects a concern several tipsters have consistently raised with us throughout this process: what’s up with counsel? The senior attorneys floating just off the traditional grid have largely flown under the radar of these discussions, but Debevoise was good enough to place them front and center of their memo:
Good for Debevoise. Counsel are people too!
Speaking of people, Debevoise didn’t forget its summer associate people either:
Congrats.
