140-150 at Bressler i think. 150- 200 plus lawyers?

1st years at Riker are paid $135k. I think we have almost 150 attorneys in NJ, mostly in Morristown (or remote). The target is 160 billable hours per month but that’s generally flexible depending on practice group.

I have not heard any information with respect to changes in the lockstep thresholds.
This is helpful thank you! Wondering about smaller firms- under 70 attorneys? (Maybe that isn't considered mid size anymore, not sure)
Chief
You’ll see a lot more variation that size. I’ve seen firms in that range paying from $70k to $125k for first years.

Depends on practice area. My firm has 150-200 attorneys and is located in LA, NY and DC. First year salary is 185k I believe for a cap markets associate. In NJ, and in other practice areas, I believe it would be less than that.
Starting is $105k with an 1850 billable hour requirement. Harrisburg, PA. 170 attorneys.
