Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
I’m
actually,
to
be
honest,
surprised.
I
thought
that
when
the
special
summer
bonuses
were
not
matched
when
there
was
just
resounding
silence
from
the
market
that
it
was
going
to
be
a
one
off.

Kate
Reder
Sheikh,
a
recruiter
for
Major
Lindsey
&
Africa,
in
comments
given
to
Bloomberg
Law,
on
the
spate
of
special
bonuses
that
have
accompanied
the
year-end
bonus
announcements
that
Biglaw
firms
have
released
thus
far.
Back
in
August,
Milbank
announced
a
round
of
special
summer
bonuses
that
went
largely
ignored
by
other
firms,
leaving
associates
wondering
about
their
compensation
and
whether
they’d
be
made
whole
come
bonus
season.
