How much do these Senior Associates & Principal Associates earn??
Isn't it SAM which claimed a while back that they offer the best salary!

Really?! I've heard that SAM actually pays people less than the other Big 6 firms. Even at their entry-level their pay seems to be somewhat lower than some of the other firms.

Best salary..it's a joke. Amongst top law firms they pay the least. Once you enter you are trapped. There are SA's @20 lacs too and PAs at 38L. Their partners just have one excuse which is management n policies. HR too is a joke with no policies or band. Yours truly. Cyril, we are slightly better.

Agreed - worst pay amongst the big 6.

jsa pays the least among top firms. They pitch you saying that the pay cut that you are taking will be compensated by the 10 pc of bill share at the PA level. However, the rates of some teams are so low at even of you do 18 hrs everyday you will not make decent money out of the bill share.

I hope Luthra is not in these top 6 because Luthra litigation salaries rank like 20.

Even for senior lateral hiring, SAM keeps saying that they pay the best but come back with crappy offers after they put you in a situation that you have to join them.

I agree on the trap bit. Everyone in SAM across levels feel trapped. If there is an unhappiness index SAM will be at an all time high. The levels of psychopancy and [...] will bring the firm to the ground.

Sorry that is no Sam salary. SAs make 27-35. PA 38-40 onwards.

27 lacs as base pay, is it?

Billbotcher 20 Jun 2018, 10:02

If only. That's the total.

Though thankfully most make 30 odd as SAs and you need to be in some trouble to make it with 27.

Vakil91 19 Jun 2018, 11:50

LOL

DB11 20 Jun 2018, 05:05

If i remember correctly it was SAM initially which claimed the best salary (there is an LI report) & then later on Khaitan overtook it! CAM was never in the picture.

I think the comments above may in-part be referring to this story we covered: https://www.legallyindia.com/home/shardul-amarchand-travels-to-below-the-rs-15-16-lakh-base-pay-hike-it-anounced-2-years-ago-00011130-8709

Join NDA. You can become a leader in 3 months maximum.

B&B has the full list of PA promotions. Like Luthra, SAM is also favouring B&B more than you Kian

Little star 19 Jun 2018, 17:03

The worst feeling for a senior associate will be to earn a salary that is lesser or equal to the salary of an associate. A couple of examples of that, anybody interested in that list?

Also, some senior associate promotions are like ki iska ho sakta hain toh kisi ka bhi ho sakta hain, correct me if it is a wrong observation.

Seeing the number of exits that have taken place since I joined (i.e. 2.5 years ago), at least 3 boutique firms can open with such number of people.

Guest 20 Jun 2018, 03:03

Beta little star, with associates having 2-3 years experience, you will not be able to create even a single worthy BOUTIQUE law firm which can attract clients. One or two of you may have charisma to get some clients but execution kaise karoge. So go do some work and learn for few more years before you try to explain how numbers can form law firms.
