Who charges the highest per hours among law firms.

From Associates to Partners.

Is it CAM or Trilegal?
AZB without a doubt - hourly rates are at least 20% higher. But the salaries are still low
Most of them averages it to 10k an hour in case the billing crosses 100 hours..baaki it's between the bracket of 15k-20k
JSA, KCO and IndusLaw are relationship based. AZB and SAM charges according to pages/hours worked, adjusting for certain factors. CAM charges unreasonable fees without quality work. Never worked with Trilegal, S&R or TT&A.
What's the billing rate for a partners at a Tier 1 firm.
Too much money just to find out misplaced comma and drafting errors.
Wow, seriously? Associates for 12k and Partners for 18k?
Kco figures for Associates and PA/Counsel are less by 2000-4000. Partners per hour rate is 20k-45k
A0 - 11k
A1 - 12k
A2 - 14k
A3 - 20k
Leader - 28k
Head - 55k
Recently I engaged CAM. My bills were on an average Rs. 12K per hour. Irrespective of partner or associate. Why is it so?
They might be thinking of you as a potential client for setting up a so called "relationship"
Because the CAM partners knowledge of law is as much or lesser than Associate.
SA at CAM here - we end up giving blended hourly rates for 12-13k for a lot of our mandates.
From my time at JSA can confirm the below based on relationships:

Associate: 5.5k - 10k

SA: 8k-12k

PA: 10k-14k

Partner: 10k-15k
This is for domestic clients. Overseas clients pay 225-250 USD on a blended rate model per hour. For full hourly billing, it's 225-250-300-350 USD depending on seniority. EPs charge 500.
Judging from the responses, I guess the average hourly billing rates for Tier 1 firms is between 10K-12K
CAM rates aren't this much.They are lower.CAM is known for undercutting.
Aren't these rates way too low when compared with their US counterparts. Saw some US firm charging $2000+ for some insolvency matter.
Rates reported seem quite low. I charge 27,000/hr and top dog managing partners charge 40,000/hr
▮▮▮ partners at Khaitan are true Shaitans.

Blended rates in one matter were inr 9000 per hour.

They seem to be happy taking in tier 3 college students as interns just for diversity. Clients do the same with them
Indian tier1s charge lesser when compared to international firms. Have engaged DLA and 2birds on matters and partner charged upwards of 1000USD an hour.
