WW+E Associates,

2017 was another remarkable year for Wilkinson Walsh + Eskovitz.  We have accomplished so much since our founding less than two years ago, due in very large part to your extraordinary efforts.

I’m sure that some of you have seen reports of bonus announcements at some big law firms.  As in the past, this year we remain committed to recognizing the contributions of our excellent associates.  And, we are fortunate again this year to be able to provide bonus compensation well above market levels.

We are pleased to announce that the 2017 year-end bonuses for associates will be as follows:

Class of 2016:  $22,500

Class of 2015:  $37,500

Class of 2014:  $75,000

Class of 2013:  $97,500

Class of 2012:  $120,000

Class of 2011:  $135,000

Class of 2010 and senior:  $150,000

Bonuses will be paid by December 15, 2017.  All associates who are currently with the Firm will receive bonuses.  For associates who joined in the third and fourth quarters, the amounts will be prorated based on time at the Firm.   We will contact those associates individually with details.

Bonuses for Counsel will be communicated on an individual basis.

Thank you again, to all of you, for your dedication to the highest level of client service.  We are proud to be working with each of you.

Best,

The Partners
