Please stop using V ranks as a measure of anything. Especially comp. V ranks mean nothing. Williams & Connoly and Jones Day are V25 and pay below market. (I personally characterize Latham as below market too since it is easy to have a bonus ding via review). Susman is V40 and is above... Irell, Fish, and Fenwick are in the 60s-80s and all pay market (or above for Irell) and are among the best at what they do
