Latham & Watkins raised all salaries to what they would have been if they were never frozen. On top of that, it has been promised that associates will receive the portion of salary lost during the time of the freeze. It’s almost as if the associates loaned Latham money and the firm plans pay up soon (sans interest?). Salaries once again start at 160K for first years and increase according to class year.
