RE: 2007 NY Associate & Counsel Bonuses
As we move into our second month as a newly-combined firm, we continue to recognize the
excellence and hard work demonstrated throughout our organization. This is especially true of
our associates and counsel, who have been and will remain the key to our sustained success in
the future.
To that end, I am pleased to announce that all New York associates in the class years of 2006 and
more senior who are in good standing will receive a Special Bonus. Furthermore, all New York
associates and counsel who have met the 2000 hour bonus requirement as set out by their
respective legacy firm will receive bonuses as follows:
Class Year Year End Bonus Special Bonus
Class of 2007 $35,000 pro rata N/A
Class of 2006 $35,000 $10,000
Class of 2005 $40,000 $15,000
Class of 2004 $45,000 $20,000
Class of 2003 $50,000 $30,000
Class of 2002 $55,000 $40,000
Class of 2001 $60,000 $50,000
Class of 2000 $65,000 $50,000
Class of 1999 $65,000 $50,000
The Class of 2007 will receive a pro-rated year-end bonus based on the period worked,
irrespective of hours billed. Bonuses for counsel and other attorneys will be reviewed and
determined on an individual basis, and we will also be communicating to all of our other
domestic and international offices next week with respect to their year-end bonuses. All bonus
payments will be paid no later than the end of February 2008.
The firm may also award discretionary bonus amounts (in addition to the year end and special
bonuses) to a small number of associates whose performance during the year was truly
exceptional, both in terms of the quality and quantity of their work.
We thank you for your hard work and dedication to the firm’s success.
