We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

What’s the scene in other law firms?
JSA - 14.4 L (fixed) + 4-6 L (bill share) + 3L (bonus) [21.8 - 23.8 L]
CAM - 17.6 L (fixed) + 4 L (bonus) [21.6 L]
KCO - 18 L (fixed) + 3.5 L (bonus) [21.5 L]
AZB - 15.8 L (fixed) + 4.2 L (bonus) [20 L]
- These are last year's figures for KCO, not sure what it is for this year.
- Also SAM A1s are getting anywhere between 21 L - 22.5 L, but I've heard the most common compensation is around 21.5 L (16.5 L + 5 L).
- All the figures above will have minor deviations depending on your reviews/team/billing.
- AZB and TT&A continue to be the least paying Tier 1s at Associate level at least.
There are not even 80 lawyers left in the firm at this point
Which means we'll be getting arrears only for 1 week, as opposed to 4 months
