In the ongoing chess game of associate salary raises, Texas firms seem to be waiting for someone else to make the first move.

A number of large firms around the country, including many with offices in Texas, have announced raises in the wake of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy‘s move on June 4 to announce a $190,000 starting salary for first-year associates. A week later, Cravath, Swaine & Moore then matched the Milbank scale and agreed to pay more for midlevel and senior associates. But no large local firms have stepped ahead of the Lone Star State pack as of yet.
