Biglaw
firms
have
been
announcing
bonus
matches
left
and
right
since
earlier
this
month,
so
associates
at
top
firms
that
have
been
silent
on
year-end
compensation
thus
far
are
getting
pretty
antsy.
Where’s
the
money,
you
mofos?
Well,
at
one
firm
that
literally
goes
by
MoFo,
the
money
has
finally
arrived.
We’ve
now
confirmed
that
Morrison
&
Foerster
—
a
firm
that
brought
in
$1,343,000,000
gross
revenue
in
2023,
putting
it
at
No.
38
in
the
most
recent
Am
Law
100
—
has
chosen
to
match
Milbank’s
generous
year-end and special
bonus
scales
this
holiday
season.
On
top
of
their
base
bonuses,
associates
at
the
top
firm
are
also
eligible
to
receive
not
one,
but
two
additional
bonuses
on
top
of
their
special
bonus
payments.
Here’s
what
the
bonus
grid
looks
like
at
the
firm:
Now
THIS
is
a
law
firm
that’s
willing
to
go
above
and
beyond
to
offer
compensation
incentives
to
reward
its
hardworking
attorneys.
As
noted
in
the
firm’s
bonus
memo,
“[t]his
structure
allows
us
to
reward
our
highest
performing
associates
for
their
extraordinary
work
this
year.”
MoFo’s
most
senior
associates
will
have
the
opportunity
to
walk
away
with
bonuses
up
to
$218,200,
which
is
simply
amazing.
Congratulations
to
everyone
at
Morrison
&
Foerster!
