Carlson Caspers CRUSHES the MN market. They pay first years $140k. Raises after that are blackbox, but junior associates ive spoken to have told me they've received 20k or so in raises. Plus, these guys actually litigate if that is something you are interested.Anonymous User wrote:^while I don't disagree, I'd think Stinson is also worth considering, as the attorneys I've met there are very happy and their selectivity is very high (if you browse thru their website, they hire summa/Coif from U. Minn).
--if you have clerkship under your belt, I'd consider the boutiques of Greene Espel, Ciresi Conlin or Carlson Caspers (IP), as they pay market and are very respectable within the Twin Cities.
P.S. Never heard of Winslow, i dont even know what firm that is.
Keep in mind, even worse than the $120k market for first years in MN is the shitty raises. Those salaries are so fucking compressed and bonuses are fucking shitty. imagine being a 5th year in MN making 150k or so after bonuses or being in NYC (or any cravath scale place) making 340k after bonuses.
