Here's More Bonus News, You Salivating Dogs
Another big firm hands out bonuses.
It’s December and you’re reading Above the Law, and it’s probably not to hear about birthday parties or blockchain. No, it’s Christmas time, so there’ll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glory of disgraced judges from long, long ago.
But you’re here for bonuses.
While we sit and wait on Sullivan & Cromwell’s bonuses (they’re a black box… reports are trickling in and we’ll have something once there’s a critical mass), another big firm just announced their bonuses.

Or… another two firms depending on whether or not you’re emotionally ready to accept that Arnold & Porter and Kaye Scholer are one firm now. In any event, they are one firm and they have bonuses.
Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer just announced bonuses. This is in line with last year – match the market at 2000 hours (which can include up to 200 hours of pro bono or other qualifying non-billable), with special bonuses for 2400+.
Another market match with benefits. We’re on the record as approving of market bonuses with an extra something special for higher billers as opposed to trying to stiff people who have fewer than 2400 hours and calling that a “gift,” so Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer earns our seal of approval.
