Morris Manning & Martin and Bondurant Mixson & Elmore are the latest firms in Atlanta to respond to the national wave of associate pay raises that New York firm Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy kicked off at the beginning of June.

Both firms have increased starting pay for first-year associates by $10,000 to $165,000 in Atlanta. Morris Manning, an Am Law 200 firm, and Bondurant, an elite litigation boutique, have historically been among the Atlanta-based firms that have matched when there’s been a national round of pay raises.
