Bonus season is officially underway!!

The really fun part of bonus season is here — it’s that time when we here at Above the Law start getting a deluge of tips from faithful readers excited that their time in the mines of Biglaw are being rewarded.

(The full memo from the firm is on the next page.)

Please help us help you when it comes to bonus news at other firms. As soon as your firm’s bonus memo comes out, please email it to us (subject line: “[Firm Name] Bonus”) or text us (646-820-8477). Please include the memo if available. You can take a photo of the memo and send it via text or email if you don’t want to forward the original PDF or Word file.
