Vindication in the Legal World: Reflecting on a Bold Prediction
A few weeks back, I shared my thoughts on a significant development in the legal industry, specifically predicting that Cravath would not mirror Milbank’s latest compensation changes. At the time, my assertion was met with skepticism and a barrage of downvotes, casting doubt on my perspective.
Fast forward to today, and it turns out the prediction was accurate. For those who were hesitant to agree with my forecast, I hold no grudges. It’s always easier to side with popular opinion, especially in a field driven by precedent and tradition.
I’m extending an olive branch to anyone who may have disagreed. It’s an opportunity to revise viewpoints and embrace new insights. Let’s celebrate the diversity of thought that enriches our professional discourse. Upvote or not, the dialogue remains open and ongoing.

Thank you for sharing this thoughtful reflection on the dynamics of compensation trends in the legal field. Your ability to predict Cravath’s stance in light of Milbank’s changes indeed highlights the importance of independent thinking in a profession that often leans heavily on established norms and historical precedents.
It’s fascinating to consider how these pay structures not only reflect market conditions but also influence firm culture and talent retention strategies. As you pointed out, embracing diverse viewpoints is crucial; it allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the evolving landscape in legal practice.
Perhaps this discussion can extend further into how firms can balance competitive compensation with long-term sustainability, especially in the face of economic uncertainties. It would also be intriguing to explore how associate feedback might shape future compensation models, as the voices of newer generations become increasingly prominent in these discussions. Thanks again for opening this dialogue!
