More rises
Eversheds Sutherland has increased the pay of its newly qualified (NQ) solicitors in both London and the regions.
London salaries will enjoy a 9% boost to £120,000 from £110,000 and regional rates will rise around 10% from £72,500 to £80,000.
This increase comes a year after the international firm raised NQ pay in the capital to £110,000.
The Legal Cheek Firms Most List shows the rise puts Eversheds level with Simmons & Simmons, K&L Gates and CMS on £120,000, while Winston Taylor and BCLP sit £5,000 higher.
The move comes amid a slew of recent NQ pay rises, with Mishcon de Reya raising its NQ salary to £110,000, briefly drawing level with Eversheds before the international firm nudged ahead once again.
This isn’t correct for the regions, especially if in real estate
