Firms warned against ditching associate lockstep

Comment

Nobody is pretending that locksteps are a good system, but as Churchill said of democracy, it is the least worst that has been tried. Big firms just aren't equipped to properly assess merit across practice groups, let alone assess potential recruits against their existing crop of associates. I'm sure they are making changes for the more senior lawyers, but my money says it is only a matter of time until the junior associate ranks work out that they are all being paid within a grand of a median "lockstep" figure at each PQE band.
