Ever see one of your coworkers do something unethical? Did you report him/her?

Asked by BostonRules over 12 years ago

Not really. I guess I’ve heard co-workers and friends of mine at other firms mention the names of clients / cases they’re working on outside of work, which you’re not supposed to do. As far as ethical violations of the type that you’d get disciplined for by the State Bar, I’ve never seen anything like that first-hand.

How much do corporate lawyers make? What is the starting salary for 1st year lawyers?

Asked by NYC99 over 12 years ago

Depends on the city and depends on the firm. Most top tier firms have lockstep salary grades, so everyone in the same class year gets paid more or less the same, and get raises at the same time (at the end of every year). The starting salary at top firm in NYC is about $140,000 to $160,000. Check out this chart. At most large law firms are more or less public knowledge, up until the partner level.
