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:
The Lateral Market Runs On Recruiters. goLateral Wants To Cut Them Out.
goLateral is a quiet window into what's actually out there. Joining takes two minutes, costs nothing, pays you $100, and stays completely confidential.
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!
