Salary at Baker McKenzie

I believe we pay roughly commensurate with mid / top tier practices.

Bakers pays very well for a graduate position and is known for paying its more senior lawyers very well too.

We are paid well and at least if not above industry standard, especially at the junior level. The bonus scheme is clearly communicated and accessible. Bonuses are not available generally to graduates and junior associates.

The pay is very good. Bonuses, while available, are discretionary and difficult to achieve as a junior.

Pay is commensurate to market rate and very reasonable. No bonuses as a graduate at law.

Great above market pay.

We get paid very well at the firm and I am satisfied with the salary. I have not been through the bonus process yet.

Not sure about bonus structure yet. Given the size of the firm, the pay is better than a lot of top tier graduate salaries in Melbourne so very satisfied.

Competitive graduate salary, eligible for bonus after you become a general associate (1 year PQE)

I think the pay is great. I have not much to say about bonuses as I am not yet eligible to receive them.

Graduates are generally paid pretty well, but there is no bonus scheme for graduates

Pay is towards the top end of market for graduates. Bonuses become more relevant with seniority.

The pay is great at my firm.

As far as I understand, we are paid a good salary consistent with the top tier firms across Australia. Pay is reviewed half-yearly for the first two years, which have included generous pay increases. Graduates are not eligible for bonuses, however this does not bother me. Overall, I am paid more than most Australians despite only being at the beginning of my career. I can comfortably live within my means, and so my pay is more than sufficient to meet my needs.

I'm not sure they are common at lower levels.

The pay is on par with other big law firms, as far as I am aware. Bonuses are not significant. Pay and bonuses depend on having someone advocate for you, so can feel a little arbitrary.

It's definitely a good place to start as a graduate.

The pay at a graduate level is decent, but I understand that the pay as you go up the ranks becomes very good quite quickly - I believe Bakers pays very competitively at more senior levels

Pay is at the top end of what any of my friends are paid at other firms.

Overall, pay could be higher; typically juniors don't get bonuses but this can be task/partner dependent.

Parental leave, ability to work from other offices - i.e. Brisbane / Sydney.

Free dinners after 6pm, free Ubers after 8pm, and some corporate discounts, and travel insurance.

The firm offers a variety of perks such as free lunches and coffees, flexible working and leave arrangements, and discounts on products such as health insurance.

We have free travel insurance for ourselves and immediate family travelling with us which is a great perk. We also have coffee vouchers, dinner and Ubers provided when we work late, and generous parental leave policies.

We get coffee vouchers at the firm - I enjoy going out for a walk with colleagues for my daily morning coffee!

Free dinners and Ubers after hours, generous parental leave policies

There are various perks available, though I do not take advantage of them as they do not interest me.

Free coffee, Dinner and Ubers home if you're working late

There are lots of perks but I have not taken advantage of many. The cafe in the office (and the office itself) is amazing.

There are sometimes free theatre tickets. There is free travel insurance for employees and their families.
