Magic Circle Firm Hands Out Bonuses To Make Thanksgiving Truly Magical

Let us give thanks for Biglaw bonuses this year.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and with the way things are going this bonus season, associates sure have a lot to be thankful for (i.e., up to six figures of cash, depending on class year).

Yet another firm has announced bountiful bonuses, and so much money will hit banks accounts soon that it’s almost enough to make lawyers forget there’s a pandemic going on just outside their doors.

Clifford Chance has announced its year-end bonus scale, and it’s the same as Cravath’s. In case you somehow don’t remember what that looks like, here it is:

As promised, the firm is indeed offering special bonuses in addition to its year-end bonuses. Associates will be paid on January 15, 2021. Happy Thanksgiving to all of the U.S. associates at Clifford Chance!

Remember everyone, we depend on your tips to stay on top of important bonus updates, so when your firm matches, please text us (646-820-8477) or email us (subject line: “[Firm Name] Matches”). Please include the memo if available. You can take a photo of the memo and send it via text or email if you don’t want to forward the original PDF or Word file.
