What the role pays

|---|---|
| Entry / early career | £33,000 – £42,450 |
| Experienced | £42,450 – £53,250 |
| Senior / lead | £53,250 – £60,000 |
What moves the number
Three things account for most of the spread within the band.
Scope of the intake role
Analysts covering the full intake process — conflicts, CDD and engagement terms — earn more than those handling a single stage of it.
Firm tier
Magic Circle and US firms anchor the top of the range. Regional and national firms typically pay less but offer broader remits earlier.
Client-facing exposure
Analysts trusted to chase and challenge fee-earners directly, rather than route everything through a manager, command a premium.
The data behind the band
From 145 responses to our salary questionnaire alongside placement records, last reviewed August 2026.
