We
may
be
beyond
the
time
that
Larry
David
believes
it’s
acceptable
to
wish
someone
a
happy
new
year,
but
that
doesn’t
mean
2024
is
completely
forgotten
in
Biglaw.
Especially
not
when
there
are
bonuses
still
to
give
out.
Today,
Goodwin
Procter
—
a
firm
with
over
$2
billion
in
gross
revenue,
making
it
#16
on
the
Am
Law
100
—
announced
bonuses.
As
with
the
tippy
top
of
Biglaw
firms,
Goodwin
is
giving
out
both

as
special

to
reward
associates
for
all
their
hard
work
last
year.

bono

Area
