This Elite Firm Is Beating Biglaw Bonuses Like It's No Big Deal

Those are some big bonuses!

This firm may only be in year 2 of its existence, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t ready to shower their associates with big ol’ bonuses.

Today Selendy & Gay announced their median bonuses for associates. And, yeah, associates there are making bigger bonuses than the Biglaw market bonuses. Selendy’s scale is as follows:

These are the median bonus amounts for associates who have been with the Firm for a full year:

Class of 2012

$177,609

Class of 2013

$136,088

Class of 2014

$132,264

Class of 2015

$98,707

Class of 2016

Managing partner Jennifer Selendy said the bonuses were the result of a great year for the firm:

“This has been an extraordinary year. We scored significant victories for our clients, filed innovative new cases, and made a real public impact. None of this would have been possible without our wonderful associates.”
