Biglaw Bonuses Arrive At Boutique Firm
Working at a boutique firm doesn't require you to sacrifice on compensation.
If you’re contemplating a move from your Biglaw associate life to the Boutique world, you’re probably so intrigued to get more hands-on experience and a chance to do more “cradle to grave” management of your work that you’re willing to trade some compensation for the opportunity. It’s a well-worn path that many of us took.
But today’s Boutiques don’t necessarily require that trade off. Have your cake and eat it too, BoutLaw practitioners!
Holwell Shuster & Goldberg LLP — the firm named 2016 New York Law Firm of the Year and a Top 10 Boutique by Benchmark Litigation, one of 10 firms named to The National Law Journal’s Litigation Boutiques Hot List within just three years of being founded, and best holiday party rap throwdown by Above the Law — has just announced that it’s fully matching Cravath’s bonuses this year.

Holwell already matched the Cravath scale in associate salary over the summer, which didn’t make this match as much of a surprise, but it’s always encouraging for associates to get the good news quickly.
It also helps to actually get your cash quickly — associates will be paid on or before December 31. Flip to the next page for the full memo.
UPDATE (12/5/2016, 3:25 p.m.) And congratulations to the three new partners at the firm: Blair Kaminsky, Neil Lieberman, and Daniel Sullivan.
