OP should add a list of firms or offices in other markets that are not matching, would be helpful to see which firms to avoid for people about to go through OCI.

It will be tough to identify firms that are *definitely* not matching before the last week of june. they aren't going to announce a non-match, except in specific cases; they just won't say anything. this will definitely be a trickling process throughout the V100 over the next two weeks.

u/d with Debvoise confirmation and Covington being evil.

I'd say Covington is fairly verified. The memo is on here. http://abovethelaw.com/2016/06/biglaw-s ... ted-equal/

I'll await a formal memo, rather than infer a negative.

OP should do many things; you, on the other hand, are post-finals and pre-OCI, feel free to take a crack at this endless and unverifiable task.

I was suggesting that OP could add firms like Kelley Drye and Covington that have explicitly stated they are not matching or not matching in certain offices. Obviously I was not suggesting that OP to make some sort of investigation into every firm. I wouldn't be surprised if other firms do what Kelley Drye did and try to get out in front of it by positioning themselves as "affordable" to clients.

Quinn Emanuel has officially matched Cravath.

Associates were notified about their raises via an email from Richard Schirtzer, head of complex litigation at the firm. QE has announced raises for everyone up to seventh-year associates, and will “look[] at individual adjustments for more senior associates and others.” (Note that Cravath announced raises for the Class of 2008 as well, at $315,000. Perhaps if Quinn has associates who are that senior, they will receive the same amount.)

Might have just been a non-email announcement. What I was told was that "Eric Friedman just announced all offices are matching Cravath scale." I inferred it was sent via email.

EDIT: Got clarification. It was an in-person announcement in the office my friend works at.

Any rumors on GDC?

[dailygrind]

If you look at the way this is breaking by day, this is just exponentially growing. Everyone's finally seeing how the wind is blowing, and it is blowing to 180. We'll have a massive wave of matches tomorrow.
