The
market
has
been
subverted
by
uber-aggressive
U.S.
firms,
to
no-one’s
benefit.
—
A
rather
critical
response
given
by
a
Biglaw
partner
in
the
UK
when
asked
about
associate
salaries
in
a
survey
published
by
Law.com
International.
According
to
that
survey,
95%
of
respondents
believe
that
salaries
for
junior
lawyers
are
now
too
high,
and
84%
of
respondents
said
they
felt
negative
about
the
most
recent
round
of
raises.
Only
5%
felt
positive
about
Milbank’s
latest
round
of
salary
increases.
