Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis has been slow to jump on the salary raise bandwagon. The firm just announced that effective Sept. 1 it would raise starting salaries in Philadelphia from $125,000 to $135,000. Corresponding increases will be made in other offices, and the firm is still determining raises for more senior associates. Several other firms announced raises in their Philadelphia offices. Wolf Block Schorr & Solis-Cohen bumped its first-year pay to $135,000, retroactive to Feb. 1. Duane Morris, Blank Rome and DLA Piper have also raised Philly starting salaries to $135,000, retroactive to Jan. 1.
