Cozen O’Connor has announced salary raises for its first-year associates, bumping pay up for those in Philadelphia from $180,000 to $195,000 while first-years in New York and Washington, D.C., will get bumped up to $205,000.

The move falls in line with Cozen O’Connor’s Big Law cohorts, who announced associate raises between $10,000 and $20,000 toward the end of 2023. According to Cozen O’Connor’s chief legal talent officer Mindy Herczfeld, the firm had been considering the move before some of its compatriots made their announcements.
