One More Bonus Match!
Remember it's imperative that tipsters let us know when firms announce bonuses!
No sooner did we post our list of the richest partners who haven’t matched bonuses yet, than we learn of another firm taking themselves off that list. And while we’d love to think our public shaming post spurred this move, it turns out Weil actually announced bonuses the day before Thanksgiving.
Yes, that’s right. Apparently Weil associates were so busy getting out the door to their turkey dinners, everyone just assumed someone else would report the news to Above the Law. Alas… no one did.
It’s the tragedy of the commons, my friends. Remember, we’re not clairvoyant over here and if you are worried about bombarding us with redundant announcements, don’t be. We’ll happily take 15 rapid fire bonus memo forwards than none at all.

As one might suspect, Weil offered a perfect match of the prevailing Cravath scale.

Congrats to all the Weil associates.
