$875 - class of 2020 but niche regulatory practice so don't know if our corporate / litigation comrades get the same rate. I think I will kick up to $975 in January. Rarely do I see our work discounted too.

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm. The top law firms will be okay (they always are) but if you are part of a larger group of associates with no work, you are likely to be axed. Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.

You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?
