Woohoo!
Milbank
is
not
messing
around
with
associates’
money.
Fresh
off
the
market-leading
summer
bonuses
(months
later
associates
at
other
firms
are
still
waiting
patiently
for
their
cash),
the
firm
is
leading
on
bonuses
again.
Today,
Milbank
became
the
first
major
Biglaw
firm
to
announce
their
year-end
bonuses.
And
they
are
sure
to
improve
the
spirits
of
associates
there.
The
following
bonus
scale,
which
mirrors
last
year’s,
was
announced
at
the
firm:
The
timing
of
the
announcement
is
in
line
with
what
the
firm
did
last
year
(November
7,
2023),
but
it
took
three
weeks
for
Cravath
to
announce
their
own
bonuses.
So
the
industry
might
have
a
little
bit
longer
to
wait
for
more
bonus
news.
Associates
in
good
standing
at
Milbank
will
be
get
their
bonuses
by
December
31st.
So,
what’s
going
on
at
at
your
firm?

your
