We are pleased to announce that, in recognition of the hard work and dedication you have all provided this year, we will be paying bonuses as set out below in respect of 2007. Lawyers more senior than the class of 2000 will be contacted separately in the next few days regarding the amount of their bonus. The special bonus should be in your pay of December 15, and the regular year-end bonus in mid-January. If you have been here for part of the year, the amounts will be pro rated. To be eligible for either bonus, as in the past, you must be in good standing on the day the bonus is to be paid.
Thanks so much for the immense contribution you have made to our success in NY and around the world.
Regards,
Ian
