Breaking: Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP promotes largest ever Partner class globally. Are Partner promotion numbers the new #salarywars? Just announced - STB promotes 44 Associates firmwide across NYC, D.C. London, Brussels, LA, Hong Kong, Houston and Palo Alto across registered funds, private funds, litigation, M&A, banking and credit, capital markets, securitization, executive compensation and employee benefits and real estate. This represents 12 more than last year's headcount and double the numbers that were promoted only 5 years ago - which begs the question: are Partner promotions the new firm flex over Associate salary wars? Is this where the increased revenue will be spent for the leading AmLaw 50 firms? Congratulations to the next leaders of Biglaw! Source: https://lnkd.in/eBnNKHuy
