A recent job posting for a mid-level associate role lists a salary range of $270,000 to $385,000, according to Above the Law. Those numbers are notable because they align with the Milbank compensation scale, a common benchmark for Biglaw associate pay. The source describes the posting as a "low-key" potential match, though it does not identify the firm or confirm any official policy change.
The listing's range sits squarely within the expected band for mid-level associates under the Milbank scale, which typically increases by class year. If the firm is indeed matching that scale, it would be a quiet way to stay competitive in the lateral market without a public announcement. However, the source offers no additional details, so the match remains an inference based on the numbers alone.
For associates and industry watchers, the posting is a reminder that compensation moves often surface through indirect channels like job ads. Whether this is a one-off range or a broader shift is unclear, but the alignment with Milbank suggests the firm is at least benchmarking against the market leader.
