Newly-qualified lawyers at One South Place will see their compensation cut 5.5%, to £85,000 ($137,500). Still, the new reduced salary is higher than the going rate for top London firms.
Also, the London branch is freezing salaries for all associates.
Weil, Gotshal & Manges is an international law firm headquartered in New York City. It is one of the largest and most highly regarded law firms in the world, with approximately 1,300 lawyers and gross annual revenue in excess of $1.7 billion.
This is not right. If anything I think the pay should be kept the same! If they want to lower the pay then people will start quiting, but hey atleast they are making more than the top firms in London. -Nick Smoltz
It is a shame that the American Branches are being shut down is such a prime location. Texas being one of our largest states with a large revenue.
