Class of 2014 – $15,000 (pro-rated)

Class of 2012 – $25,000

As in prior years, individual bonus amounts will be discretionary, based on performance. Associates will be notified by their Practice Group of their individual bonus payments.

Bonuses will be paid on January 15, 2015 to U.S. Track associates who are actively employed at the firm on that date. For those associates who were on leaves of absence or reduced work schedules in 2014 or who joined the firm after January 1, 2014, bonuses will be prorated.

We could not have had the many successes we have had this past year without all of your hard work and extraordinary efforts. On behalf of the partners, we thank you for your outstanding work and dedication to the Firm and our clients.

David J. Beveridge
