After setting the pace for associate salary increases in 2016, Cravath, Swaine & Moore has surpassed the pay scale set last week by Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy.

As first noted Monday afternoon by Above the Law, Cravath has matched salaries set by Milbank for its junior associates. But for its midlevel and senior associates, the Wall Street firm has gone $5,000 and $10,000, respectively, beyond the rates set by Milbank.
