Has that starting salary of $145K been confirmed with the firm or any reputable source? Sure, it's on Infirmation, but anyone can submit a number there, and the last time I heard anything about the firm they were in the neighborhood of $80-90K starting.

They sure aint 145k. I'd say your number is far more accurate.

I don't know what the LA office pays, but the SF office definitely does not pay that much. It's probably more like $80-90K. I know a couple of years ago the first years were making $75 which was less than a good, experienced legal secretary makes.

Sure ain't 145 hommies. 7yrs, 95k. About to reneg on '08 bonuses.

As of Feb. 2009 does anyone know the starting salary at Lewis Brisbois in SF?

is it $95K?

this site doesnt post years on its comments

85k

Doesn't matter. Crap firm to work for. Cutting vacation time and bennies as fast as they can. Avoid this bottom feeder at all costs.

I know for a fact that the starting salary those who just received offers at the LA office is 80.

$80K is better than my current $0; where do I sign up?

They are pretty evil about lay-offs. If a senior associate / partner personally doesn't like you, you are toast.

Victims of a self-serving system that condemns you to servitude until an opportunity to become the slavemaster arises?

what do legal secretaries make in AZ?
