Notes:
Source: Frasia Wright Associates in depth
and ongoing analysis of confidential discussions with lawyers
throughout the UK and overseas.
Figures are based on average salaries across
a range of firms and organisations. (For all of the salary
levels, benefits are not included.) These figures are intended as a guide only, and should be viewed as such.
Benefits and other payment variables can
make it harder to gauge the salary level or market value
because compensation is no longer always a fixed number
and so no salary guide can tell you exactly how these extras
add up for specific positions.
Salary levels for senior associates and
partners vary depending on many factors such as firm size,
length of service, level of responsibility and practice
area and so will need to be considered on a case by case
basis.
