The
winter
holidays
are
nearly
upon
us,
and
while
news
about
year-end
and
special
bonuses
continues
to
trickle
in,
dozens
upon
dozens
of
firms
have
remained
completely
silent.
Why?
The
market
(i.e.,
all
of
the
firms
that
have
matched
the
generous
Milbank
scale)
has
already
spoken
—
very
loudly,
in
fact.
There
aren’t
any
decisions
left
to
be
made…
except,
of
course,
whether
or
not
your
firm
is
planning
to
somehow
stiff
associates
when
it
comes
to
special
bonuses.
Which
firms
in
the
Am
Law
50
haven’t
uttered
a
word
(that
we
know
of)
to
their
associates
about
bonuses
yet?
Here’s
a
list
of
the
firms
that
have
yet
to
match
(along
with
their
most
recent
gross
revenue,
as
of
2023).
Do
with
it
what
you
will,
and
please
feel
free
to
correct
us
if
we’re
wrong.

Please
include
the

You
can
take
a
photo
of
the

text
or
email
if
you
don’t
want
to
forward
the
original
PDF
or
Word
file.
And

that
we
publish.
