What are mid level corporate associates billing this year? Asking because I’m moving to Canada from US big law in a few months, and want to know if I’ll still be drowning in work. Thank you!

I think 2600 would be on the very high end. 2200-range wouldn’t be unrealistic though.

Thank you!

Lies. Very few people are legitimately billing more than 2000hrs.

Average at many shops isn't even as high as 1800.

Varies based on location and tier of firm. Toronto and Calgary big law will easily put you over 2,000.

Does that mean 2000-2200? Currently billing 2600.

Watching US salaries increase AGAIN and wondering why Canadian firms don’t have the same pressure to follow these raises. Is it the relatively small number of big firms? Is it that all the big firm managers work together to keep the market in line? Is it the lack of reporting in the Canadian legal press? I feel like we are all getting screwed.
