If you thought the Biglaw market was quick to match Davis Polk, then you better buckle up, because these Cravath salary matches are coming in fast and furious. The second Cravath match comes from a firm that is no stranger to this raise rodeo — in fact, this is the third time the firm has issued an announcement about raises since January.
McDermott Will & Emery was the second firm to match Milbank, one of the first to match Davis Polk, and is now the second firm to match Cravath. Associates must be pleased as punch that their firm is quick to match when it comes to their compensation.
