A salary war is heating up in the Atlanta area. Alston & Bird raised salaries Tuesday for 2006 first-year associates to $115,000 -- the firm's first raise in associate compensation since 2000. Alston's pay raise has created a stir, according to a local recruiter, who said, "Our phones are ringing off the hook from associates asking if it's true and if other firms are going to match." The recruiter added that at least one firm is saying it will top Alston's rate.

Alston & Bird dropped a bomb on the Atlanta legal market Tuesday afternoon, raising salaries for 2006 first-year associates to $115,000.
That’s up from $100,000 and the first bump for associates at Alston & Bird since the firm raised compensation from $75,000 in 2000. Most other big firms in Atlanta followed suit that year and have remained in that range since. A salary increase by one top Atlanta firm usually forces other firms to follow suit.
