Kilpatrick Stockton Defers Associates, Offers Salary Advance Instead of Stipend

Kilpatrick Stockton has told its incoming associate class they have been deferred from September 2009 to April 2010.

The deferrals are mandatory, but some departments will be given the leeway to bring associates in early.

The affected associates will get a two-month salary advance — not a stipend, but an advance that will come out of their future salary.

Kilpatrick Stockton employs more than 500 attorneys in ten offices across the globe: Atlanta and Augusta, Georgia; Charlotte, Raleigh and Winston-Salem, North Carolina; New York, New York; Washington, DC; Dubai, UAE; London, UK; and Stockholm, Sweden.
