The First Firm To Blow Cravath Bonuses Out Of The Water
Which firm is offering its associates bountiful bonuses?
KAPLAN HECKER & FINK — BONUS ANNOUNCEMENT
As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, we want to express our gratitude to each of you for the outstanding work that you did this past year. We began this Firm in July 2017 with four attorneys working on laptops on folding tables with a belief that, working together, we could attract the best legal talent, provide clients with legal services at the highest level, and devote substantial time to groundbreaking public interest litigation. Now, only sixteen months later, we have far surpassed even our own hopes and dreams thanks in large part to your dedication, hard work, brilliance, and client commitment. In other words, our Firm truly would not be where it is today without each and every one of you.
While we sincerely hope that you too feel deep pride in the amazing things that we have accomplished together, we also want you to share in the Firm’s financial success, which is itself another core value of our Firm. We are, therefore, so pleased to be able to announce our year-end bonuses for associates as follows:
Attention Buyer: Not All Legal AI Models Are Created Equal
Class / Bonus
2017 $25,000
2016 $37,500
2015 $65,000
2014 $85,000
2013 $105,000
2012 $120,000
2011 $130,000
Bonuses will be paid on December 21; attorneys who were with the Firm for only part of the year will receive a pro-rated portion of the applicable class-level bonus. In recognition of your outstanding contributions to the Firm, we will also be contributing to a profit sharing plan for each of you. Finally, because the Firm’s mission embraces social impact, and because we understand that there are so many people and causes that desperately need our help in the world today, the Firm will match all attorney and staff contributions to an eligible 501(c)(3) non-profit through the end of the year, up to $2,500 per person.
Thank you again for a truly fantastic year. We are so grateful that you have put your trust in us by joining our team, and we can’t wait to see the victories yet to come, as we welcome our extraordinary class of summer and new associates in 2019.
