Biglaw Firm Shares The Love (Read: Cash) With More Than Just Associates

Special counsel and staff attorney bonuses!

Everyone who has spent some time in Biglaw knows it takes more than just associates to make a successful firm. There’s an entire infrastructure in Biglaw, though sometimes, with all the excitement surrounding associate raises, it can be easy to forget that.

One firm that hasn’t forgotten all the people it takes is Sheppard Mullin. The firm recently announced a recognition bonus for staff attorneys and special counsel. The bonus will be equal to 8 percent of their annual salary and payable in November.

Let’s hope this becomes as big a trend as associate raises.

You can read the full memo on the next page.
