Biglaw
bonus
news
is
dropping
fast
and
furious.
The
latest
firm
that’s
giving
associates
a
very
special
thank
you
in
the
form
of
cold,
hard
cash
is
Fish
&
Richardson.
The
firm
took
in
$499,597,000
in
gross
revenue
last
year,
making
it
#96
on
the
Am
Law
100.
And
they’re
sharing
that
money
with
hardworking
—
and
high-billing
—
associates.
That’s
right,
Fish
is
giving
associates
who
qualify
special
bonuses
this
year.
They
align
with
the
market
standard
for
special
bonuses,
set
over
the
summer
by
Milbank.
The
special
bonus
schedule
at
the
firm
is
as
follows:
The
special
bonuses
kick
in
at
2,000
hours,
and
are
prorated
for
those
who
may
not
have
hit
that
billable
threshold.
All
of
which
is
on
top
of
the
standard
year-end
bonus,
which
insiders
at
the
firm
report
match
the
Milbank
scale.
The
full
memo
is
available
below.

everyone,
