Cohen Ziffer Is A Small Firm With Biglaw Bonuses

Nothing says employee appreciation quite like more money.

Cohen Ziffer is a relative newcomer as a firm, bringing insurance recovery and commercial litigation expertise together in a powerhouse boutique. The firm has talked a lot about creating economic opportunity for female lawyers — and it’s putting its money where its mouth is.

After amassing an office of 26 lawyers, more than double their starting 12, they’re still looking for some of the best to join their ranks. And based off their bonus scale, the lawyers brought in to the fold are compensated handsomely.

For many who decide to work a job that fosters diversity and inclusion, they often have to deal with conditions where they are underpaid or can get lost in too many people doing what a small group could do better. Considering that this firm has not yet had its first anniversary, it’s doing a damn good job of keeping the good without the bad.

We like hearing about bonuses almost as much as you enjoy spending them. As soon as your firm’s memo comes out, please email it to us (subject line: “[Firm Name] Bonus”) or text us (646-820-8477). 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.
