Appealing Bonuses For This Firm
Keeping pace in the New York market.

Yet the show must go on so we’re out here trying to come up with some kind of clever packaging to put around the fact that Biglaw is marching in lockstep once again.
Mayer Brown, a firm that just announced its interest in expanding its New York practice, was not going to offer any daylight between itself and the competition when it comes to recruitment and retention. The firm is offering a full Cravath match in New York, via a memo sent around this week.
