Biglaw
firms
continue
to
spread
the
wealth
to
associates
across
the
country
after
a
successful
financial
year
by
announcing
matches
of
Milbank’s
generous
year-end and special
bonuses.
The
latest
law
firm
to
offer
big-money
bonuses
did
so
just
after
Christmas,
leaving
associates
excited
to
start
the
New
Year.
Holland
&
Knight
—
a
firm
that
brought
in
$1,849,319,000
gross
revenue
in
2023,
putting
it
at
No.
25
on
the
Am
Law
100
—
made
its
match
on
December
27,
but
only
for
some
associates
in
some
offices.
Here’s
the
firm’s
bonus
grid:
Associates
in
Group
1
are
located
in
the
firm’s
more
regional
offices
(i.e.,
Birmingham,
Chattanooga,
Jacksonville,
Nashville,
Orlando,
Portland,
Richmond,
Tallahassee,
and
Tampa),
while
associates
in
Group
2
are
located
in
the
firm’s
major
market
offices
(i.e.,
Atlanta,
Austin,
Boston,
Century
City,
Charlotte,
Chicago,
Dallas,
Denver,
Fort
Lauderdale,
Houston,
Los
Angeles,
Miami,
New
York,
Newport

On
top
of
its
Milbank
match,
H&K
will
also
award
additional
bonus
money
to
associates
whose
performance
was
“exceptional,”
based
on
billable
hours
and/or
originations.
Those
who
came
close
to
meeting
their
target
hours
(2,000)
but
didn’t
quite
get
there
will
be
considered
for
partial
bonuses.
Everyone
will
receive
their
bonuses
sometime
in
the
first
quarter
of
2025,
after
their
performance
evaluations.
Congratulations
to
all
associates
at
Holland
&
Knight!
