It
pays
to
keep
your
head
down
and
work.
Not
only
can
it
keep
you
out
of
unnecessary
drama,
but
it
pays
to
do
so!
Sheppard
Mullin
recently
announced
bonuses
and
the
cash
they’re
throwing
out
reflects
an
appreciation
for
hard
work.
The
Biglaw
firm
reported
$1,120,922,000
in
gross
revenue
in
and
profits
per
equity
partner
of
$2,325,000
in
2023,
according
to
the
most
recent
Am
Law
100
ranking.
And,
unlike
at
HoLove,
they’re
handing
out
special
bonuses!
Here’s
the
scale:
The
difference
that
50
hours
can
make!
Congratulations
to
everyone
who
made
the
2000-hour
cut-off
and
an
additional
10%
to
20%
praise
to
those
who
went
above
and
beyond.
For
everyone
else,
better
luck
next
year.
Don’t
pout
too
much
—
just
being
an
attorney
at
Sheppard
Mullin
means
that
you’re
still
one
of
the
top
earners
in
the
country.
We
like
hearing
about
bonuses
almost
as
much
as
you
enjoy
spending
them.
