Big
bonus
money
continues
to
be
the
big
story
in
Biglaw.
Now
that
the
industry
has
gotten
on
board
with
the
Milbank
bonus
scale
—
of
both
the
year-end
and
special
variety
—
the
top
of
Biglaw
is
falling
all
over
themselves
to
show
that
they’re
one
of
the
big
players
in
Biglaw.
The
latest
firm
to
announce
a
Milbank
match
on
associate
bonuses
is
Katten
Muchin
Rosenman.
The
firm
took
in
$781,654,000
in
gross
revenue
last
year,
making
it
#66
on
the
Am
Law
100.
All
that
cash
on
hand
and
the
firm
is
sharing
it
with
associates,
if
they’ve
been
busy
billing,
of
course.
The
year-end
bonus
schedule
at
Katten
is
a
little
more
complex
then
most.
But
associates
can
take
down
market
bonuses
once
they
bill
2,000
hours.
Additional
billables
are
rewarded
as
per
this
chart.
Plus,
there
are
the
special
bonuses
that
associates
can
add
to
their
comp
package
when
they
hit
2,000
hours.
On
top
of
all
these
associate
bonuses,
“superstar”
bonuses
are
also
available
on
a
discretionary
basis.
Bonuses
will
be
paid
on
February
3.
You
can
read
the
full
memo
on
the
next
page.
