Negotiating Salary and Signing Bonus at L&E Shops?q

Post by Anonymous User » Tue Dec 14, 2021 1:02 am

Has anyone heard of negotiating salary or signing bonus at L&E shops like Littler, Fisher, Ogletree, Jackson, etc? I always thought they just placed you based on skill level and class year, but never thought you could negotiate or get a signing bonus. Someone said you can. Anyone have any such experience?

I’m a junior at one of the named firms and there’s no negotiating here. They base your pay on graduation year even if you used a year or two on state clerkships though, which is nice.

Maybe if you don’t use a recruiter can you negotiate signing bonus.

Can't hurt to try. Best way to negotiate is by having multiple offers and making them compete against each other.
