Elite plaintiff-side boutiques paying close/at biglaw market rate
Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2025 2:15 pm
Hi everyone, does anyone have a current list of plaintiff-side lit boutiques in NYC that pay at/near big law market rate? Even down to 25% less total comp would be okay.
(It’s okay if the base pay is much lower, I’m more focused on all-in comp averaged over a 2-3 year horizon)
I would be coming from big law + a DC/NYC district court clerkship. Pursuing plaintiff-side boutiques feels like such an opaque recruiting experience and would love to hear some success stories if they’re out there!
Thanks in advance
