Freshfields ups NQ lawyer salaries by 20% to £150k
An increase from £125,000 to £150,000, amounting to a 20% uplift, has put Freshfields at a competitive edge compared to rival firms A&O Shearman, Clifford Chance, Linklaters, and Slaughter & May. The current NQ salaries at these firms stand at £125,000. The question arises: Can this be sustained? When discussing these figures with lawyers in Birmingham, these salary levels appear unimaginable.
