Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy sent reverberations across the legal industry when it hiked the salaries of its greenest lawyers to nearly $200,000. But most Pennsylvania associates are unlikely to see an immediate impact on their paychecks.

Milbank announced June 4 that it planned to increase its associate salaries by $10,000 for first- to third-years and $15,000 for the rest, making its starting pay for associates $190,000. Several firms have already matched the scale, including Proskauer Rose, Winston & Strawn and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett.
