We’ve
been
riding
the
bonus
wave
for
a
few
weeks
now
and
—
more
or
less
—
meeting
the
market.
Now
another
firm
has
dutifully
joined
the
trend.
After
announcing
a
record
year
with
over
$2
billion
in
revenue,
Linklaters
—
#17
in
the
Global
200
—
has
matched
the
market
in
both
annual
and
special
bonuses.
That’s
enough
to
make
associates
fall
in
love
with
the
firm…
though
maybe
not
as
“in
love”
as
the
firm
wants.

Congratulations
to
everyone
at
Linklaters
on
another
successful
year.
Toast
your
success…
well,
maybe
not
ALL
of
you
should
toast.
