Highlights:

• Law firms with strong Disputes, Restructuring & Insolvency (R&I) practices, tend to have greater leverage when the economy turns.

• WongP cut 5-10% across all seniorities till December.

• Dentons Rodyk cut salaries by removing the front-load component, for all staff, since April.

• A&G and R&T have remained silent. 

• TSMP has cut 25% for partners.

• Kudos to these firms for taking pro-active measures to be prudent, amidst this crisis which still has no end in sight. Naturally, in the name of preserving jobs, we'd much rather endure short-term pay reductions.
