The
Biglaw
bonus
announcements
are
coming
in
like
magic…
circle,
that
is.
That’s
right,
the
latest
firm
to
delight
associates
with
news
of
their
new
bonus
scale
is
Clifford
Chance.
Last
year,
the
firm
took
in
$2,861,200,000
in
gross
revenue
and
now
they’re
sharing
the
good
fortune
with
associates.
Today,
Clifford
Chance
sent
a
memo
to
its
U.S.
associates
announcing
the
firm
will
be
matching
the
Milbank
scale
—
for
both
year-end
and
special
bonuses.
That
puts
the
compensation
schedule
at
the
firm
as
follows:
Bonuses
will
be
paid
on
January
15.
You
can
read
the
full
memo
on
the
next
page.
Remember
everyone,
we
depend
on
your
tips
to
stay
on
top
of
compensation
updates,
so
when
your
firm
announces
or
matches,
please
text
us
(646-820-8477)
or email
us (subject
line:
“[Firm
Name]
Bonus/Matches”).
Please
include
the
memo
if
available.
You
can
take
a
photo
of
the
memo
and
send
it
via
text
or
email
if
you
don’t
want
to
forward
the
original
PDF
or
Word
file.
And

you’d
