A
rising
tide
of
Biglaw
bonus
bucks
lifts
all
law
firm
boats
—
including
the
elite
boutiques.
With
Cravath’s
blessing
over
the
Milbank
year-end
and
special
bonus
scale,
leading
law
firms
are
rushing
to
make
their
own
compensation
announcements.
As
usual,
commercial
litigation
boutique
Holwell
Shuster
&
Goldberg
is
ready,
willing,
and
able
to
match
Biglaw’s
best
when
it
comes
to
bonuses.
The
firm
—
founded
in
2012
by
former
Southern
District
of
New
York
Judge
Richard
Holwell,
along
with
former
White
&
Case
colleagues
Mike
Shuster,
Dan
Goldberg,
and
Dorit
Ungar
Black
—
is
a
destination
for
litigators
who
want
to
be
paid
well
and
gain
trial
experience
early
in
their
careers.
A
leader
when
it
comes
to
early
bonus
announcements,
HSG
is
matching
the
prevailing
bonus
scale
set
by
Milbank.
This
is
what
that
looks
like
at
the
firm:
Here’s
a
kind
note
to
associates
that
was
included
in
the
firm’s
bonus
memo:
We
are
proud
of
our
continued
delivery
of
top-notch
legal
services
and
impressive
victories
on
behalf
of
our
clients.
You
are
all
a
big
part
of
what
makes
the
firm
successes
possible
and
why
HSG
remains
a
very
special
place
to
practice
law.
Money
will
land
in
associates’
bank
accounts
on
or
before
December
31.
Congratulations
to
everyone
at
Holwell
Shuster
&
Goldberg!
