Litigation Powerhouse Blows Biglaw Bonuses Out Of The Water
Bonuses and a half for these associates.
While it’s been a good year to be an associate in high-end legal work — what with the summer bonuses and base pay bump — some lawyers are having a better year than others. Like the people of Wilkinson Walsh + Eskovitz who continued their trend of offering above-market bonuses.
Wilkinson, last seen helping Justice Boozy McAssaultface prepare for his hearing, continues to deliver for her firm’s associates with a 1.5x bonus schedule just like last year.
Class of 2017: $22,500
Class of 2016: $37,500
Class of 2015: $75,000
Class of 2014: $97,500
Class of 2013: $120,000
Class of 2012: $135,000
Class of 2011 and senior: $150,000

Apparently, that plus sign in the name stands for bigger bonuses. Or maybe it’s just a pretentious substitute for an ampersand. Who’s to say really?
