Working at Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton in Los Angeles, CA: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Los Angeles, CA Area

"Average employer, as law firms go. Management decent. Experience can vary greatly depending on supervising attorney(s). Recommend negotiating highest possible salary going in; increases once hired are minimal. Firm raises billing rates frequently, salary not so much -- e.g., billing rate increase of $135 per hour in four years (from $110 to $245); salary increase during same time period less than $4 per hour. Associate salary is competitive; annual compensation for partners easily averages well over $1 m, with high-levels making $2 - $5 m. Administrative staff (file clerks, copy services, etc.) are not paid well. Branch offices seem more laid back than main office downtown."
