Ropes & Gray has increased annual salaries for newly qualified lawyers in London to £170,000.
 
The increase also covers trainee compensation, although the available report does not specify every revised trainee rate. Newly qualified pay is the headline change in the firm’s latest adjustment.
 
The move places the firm among London practices offering six-figure starting salaries to newly qualified solicitors and updates compensation at more than one early-career stage.
