Zero developments since they informally signal they'll match. Meanwhile, every other V50 firm has released the memo a month ago. They're already a bit cheap by holding the second COVID payment until end of December when most are Sept/Oct, but this seems like a further cash grab through deferral until at least the August payroll (if we ever actually hear the news).

And the entire London market has seen US firms match the US grid while Ropes remains about 25% lower. As a London-based associate, tonnes are leaving or contemplating leaving as it feels like a second-tier firm and these slow comp moves really don't help.

When do they pay out July salaries? End of the month? I'm assuming that's when it would go into effect. Isn't Ropes one of those firms that never releases formal memos with salary/bonus breakdowns, but still pays market, anyways?

Ropes does normally release memos, so I have no idea why they didn’t this time. The raise was effective July 1st though and shows up in eHR/on your most recent (July 15) pay check.

Just London then..

A summer at Ropes and our pay has definitely reflected the raises

Raises were in the last paycheck. You can also check your comp history to see your current salary.
