The compensation gap between equity partners and nonequity partners at the nation’s largest law firms is growing, according to new survey research by legal search consultant Major, Lindsey & Africa.

While average pay for equity partners has risen nearly 20 percent from $811,000 since MLA’s first survey in 2010, nonequity pay has remained relatively flat, increasing just $2,000 over the same period.
