After initiating the associate salary domino earlier in June and seeing that Davis Polk & Wardwell upped the ante, Milbank is moving to the higher market scale. 

In an email to associates Tuesday, Milbank chair Scott Edelman said the firm will match the $205,000 base for the class of 2020 and continue down the path with the market, matching through the class of 2013. Unlike Davis Polk, Milbank will also pay $205,000 for the class of 2021 graduates.
