We recognize that the talent of our attorneys combined with the commitment to clients and one
another form the cornerstoneof Pillsburys success. The firm is committed to providing our top-
performing attorneys competitive, market-based compensation.
I am pleased to announce that the Board decided today to adopt the following salary schedule
for associates and counsel based in the U.S. who are currently paid according to the existing
schedule. (The firm will continue to monitor compensation for associates and counsel in
markets outside the U.S.).
Salary adjustments will be made prospectively, effective July 1, for the remainder of the year.
