I am not sure about those salaries. My friend, who works at one of the five biggest law firms in NYC, started at about $125,000. The new associates work about 60 to 70 hours a week at his firm.
Partners can do very well depending on the money that they and the firm bring in. If the firm is successful, the partners are rewarded. I have heard of six figure bonuses for a corporate lawyer who worked on a big merger.
