International law firm Mayer Brown has joined a host of firms to hike newly qualified (NQ) and trainee salaries.
Junior lawyers at the firm will now earn £78,000, a 4% increase on the previous NQ salary of £75,000.
Trainee salaries have also been increased. Newbie pay has been upped from £43,000 to £44,000 in the first year and from £48,000 to £49,000 in the second year.
Future Mayer Brown joiners can also rejoice as the LPC maintenance grant has received a healthy £3,000 boost, taking the total from £7,000 to £10,000. The firm is the latest in a string of outfits to increase financial provision to support future trainees whilst they are studying.
