This year’s Biglaw bonus schedule is nice, though perhaps not overly exciting. But we are always on the lookout for firms that are topping that bonus scale, and that’s exactly what we got at Hueston Hennigan.
Sources at the firm told us that some junior associates received bonuses at 2x or even 3x (or more) the market rate. And every associate that is in good standing received a bonus in excess of the market rate. These are indeed generous bonuses, but expected for Hueston Hennigan associates. And this is in addition to the firm’s “generous” contributions to associate 401(k) accounts (staff get in on that action as well)!
Please help us help you when it comes to bonus news at other firms. As soon as your firm’s bonus memo comes out, please email it to us (subject line: “[Firm Name] Bonus”) or text us (646-820-8477). Please include the memo if available. You can take a photo of the memo and send it via text or email if you don’t want to forward the original PDF or Word file.
