Managing Director, Jesse P. Hyde shares valuable insights on attorney compensation in light of a recent article by Law360 that emphasizes the importance of pay transparency. He notes, “This article correctly highlights that pay transparency is a key determining factor in attorney compensation satisfaction. Firms currently on the New York market compensation scale offer associates a clear view and more predictability regarding their current and future compensation.” He further explains that the post-COVID boom has led to increased compensation at both the associate and partner levels, widening the gap between Am Law 100 firms and smaller firms. While this disparity can lead to pay dissatisfaction, it is often counterbalanced by non-pecuniary benefits like work-life balance. At Lateral Link, we have a dedicated team of recruiters across various regions, each equipped to provide market insights and support your next lateral move.
