Bonuses
season
kicked
off
with
a
bang
after
Milbank
set
the
scale.
Cravath
and
Paul
Hastings
have
already
announced
their
bonuses,
and
more
firms
are
following
suit.
The
most
recent
firm
is
Fried
Frank!
They
reported
$1,008,772,000
in
gross
revenue
in
2023
and
profits
per
equity
partner
of
$4,355,000
in
2023
according
to
the
most
recent
Am
Law
100
and
are
matching
the
Milbank
scale
for
both
annual
and
special
bonuses!
While
the
scale
is
a
match,
the
firm
also
offers
a
premium
from
$3000
to
$34,500.
Bonuses
will
be
paid
on
or
before
December
31.
We
like
hearing
about
bonuses
almost
as
much
as
you
enjoy
spending
them.
As
soon
as
your
firm’s
memo
comes
out,
please email
it
to
us (subject
line:
“[Firm
Name]
Bonus”)
or

us
(646-820-8477).
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.
