Clerkship Bonus Watch: Davis Polk Joins the $50K Club

We have received confirmation, from multiple sources, of a rumor that previously arose in the comments: Davis Polk & Wardwell has raised its clerkship bonus to $50,000. It joins the distinguished company of Sullivan & Cromwell, Simpson Thacher, Paul Weiss, Weil Gotshal, Cravath, Cleary Gottlieb, and Skadden Arps.
Also, contrary to this joke, Davis’s enhanced clerkship bonus will be paid to current clerks who have already accepted their DPW offers (i.e., it’s not just to entice clerks with pending but unaccepted offers from the firm).
There’s no email to reprint. Notification was made through telephone calls from recruiting.
Congratulations, DPW clerks!
