Small Firm, Big Bonuses

$70,000 minimum? Not bad!

If you’re really into finding the biggest paydays come bonus season, there’s little better than elite boutiques. Above market — way above, by the way — bonuses appear to be the calling card of a particular echelon of small but elite firms, with Susman Godfrey, Hueston Hennigan, Kaplan Hecker & Fink, Selendy & Gay, and Wilkinson Walsh + Eskovitz already announcing impressive bonuses.

The latest boutique law firm to get in on the big bonus bandwagon is Wigdor Law LLP. The plaintiffs-side employment firm announced bonuses ranging from $70,000 minimum to $160,000. That’s a heck of a way to say thank you to associates for all their hard work. The bonus range has also taken a notable bump up, which sources say are due to an “exceptional” year — I suppose successfully taking on Fox News has its perks!

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).
