I assume we are talking about the billing rate that the client pays. I am a project assistant, the lowest of the low in terms of paralegals. Our standard billing rate is $195, and our "specialized rate" is $210.

This seems excessive for paralegals.

I just looked up a senior paralegal here's standard billing rate: $325.

Interesting. Is this different than most BigLaw firms? I work in DC, by the way.

First year associates are not being billed out at that rate. I don't know what the deal is.

Just looked at a first-year associate's standard billing rate here: $395.

I'm at a NYC V10 for the summer. Got a glimpse of a billing statement to a client. $350/hr for the paralegal and $1300/hr for the partner working on the deal.

Looking at billing rates is fun! My rate is almost 200 but I doubt much if any of ny time will actually get billed. First years are around 350.

Yep, that is approximately what we bill here.
