It seems like every firm is eager to show their associates some appreciation — and hopefully get them to stay put during a particularly active lateral market.

With $723,452,000 in gross revenue in 2020 making it 62nd on the Am Law 100, the firm has the cash to spread around. And Pillsbury is doing just that, matching the market bonuses — in both the annual and special flavors that are making the rounds in Biglaw.
