Clerkship Bonus Watch: Schulte Roth & Zabel

Wednesday, February 6, 2008 9:40 AM - By David Lat

Schulte Roth Zabel LLP logo SRZ Above the Law blog.jpgThere's no major movement to report on the base salary front, but clerkship bonuses continue to climb. The latest firm to raise its clerkship bonus, from $15K to $50K (or $70K for two clerkships): Schulte Roth & Zabel. From their website:

Upon arrival at the Firm directly following an eligible one-year clerkship, associates receive a clerkship bonus of $50,000. Those who join us directly following an eligible two-year clerkship (or two successive eligible one-year clerkships) will receive a bonus of $70,000.

If you are aware of clerkship bonus news that we haven't previously reported -- you can check what we've covered before by doing a site search -- please email us. Thanks.

"There's no movement to report on the base salary front"

O RLY?

GT to 160 in Boston, Dallas, Houston, and Santa Monica (check NALP Directory)

I interpreted that sentence to mean no move by a major firm to something higher than 160. 160 is old news (and any respectable firm moved to 160 a long time ago).

GT = TTT

Agreed. Some firms pay $160K in Minneapolis now. Old news indeed.

Sorry, not Minneapolis firms. I meant Minneapolis offices of NY/Chi firms. I won't say which ones though.

I know that for a federal clerkship Goodwin and Ropes are both at least 35K. That info is a bit old, so it might have gone up, I'm not sure. Don't know for wilmer.
