Biglaw’s been out there throwing around money to associates in the face of a busy year and a hot lateral market. But they aren’t the only ones with big money to share.
Kaplan Hecker & Fink, an elite litigation boutique founded only a few years ago by Roberta Kaplan, announced their own bonuses. And they are pretty impressive.
Here’s the scale at the boutique:
Stand With Survivors: Legal Tools To Make A Real Difference This DVAM
Enhance your legal skills to advocate for survivors of intimate partner violence.
As you can see, even adding in the special bonuses some firms are giving out, the numbers at Kaplan Hecker are better. And though the firm is young, this isn’t the first time the firm has beaten the market.
In memory of extended members of the firm, they’ll be matching donations to the St. John’s Family Center and Pancreatic Cancer Center. Plus Kaplan Hecker is going to match up to $2,500 of all attorney and staff donations to nonprofits through the end of the year.
