Top plaintiff's firms - salary increases?
I'm curious if anyone has any data points on whether/to what extent top national plaintiff's firms have increased salaries over the last several years. The most recent info. I can find on TLS is from 2014, which predates the last two Biglaw salary increases (apologies if I'm missing a more recent thread). Wondering if there's been any corresponding shift in plaintiff's-side salaries in reaction to those increases. To clarify, I know plaintiff's firm salaries vary widely; I'm just curious specifically about the elite national plaintiff's firms (e.g., Altshuler, Cohen Milstein, Leiff Cabraser, etc.).

Re: Top plaintiff's firms - salary increases?
I interviewed at one of the firms you mentioned a year ago. I recall the starting salary then being about $140,000. I could be off by a bit though and it might have changed since then. It was lower than big law but still pretty good.

Hagens Berman, Edelson, Wexler Wallace are in the 120-150 + bonus range.

What about at the senior associate level (5-8 yrs)? And while I know bonuses can vary wildly, what range would be a reasonable expectation in an unexceptional year?
