A report by Legal affiliate The American Lawyer shows Pennsylvania firms to be largely in the middle of the pack when it comes to nonequity partner compensation, but research by The Legal shows that growing nonequity partnership tiers at many of those firms led to lower payouts per nonequity partner (PNEP) between 2010 and 2011.

While PNEP ranged from $100,000 per partner at the low end of the Am Law 200 to $1.5 million at the high end of the Am Law 100, most firms across the state fell within the midrange — between $250,000 and $370,000.
