Vinson & Elkins has raised associate salaries to the new Davis Polk & Wardwell scale, becoming the first large homegrown Texas firm, but not the only Big Law firm, to meet what’s become the new market rate.

A number of other Big Law firms have also just confirmed they will also pay the Davis Polk scale, which was announced by the firm this week and pays $215,000 to first-year associates and ranges up to $396,500 for eighth-year associates.
