Bonuses for counsel and other attorneys will be determined on an individual basis and communicated separately. Bonuses will be paid on December 30, 2021. Associates and counsel who were on leave, worked part-time during any part of this year, or who were not employed by the Firm for the entire year, will be eligible for a pro-rated bonus.
On behalf of the Firm, we thank you for your sustained dedication and commitment this year to our clients, the Firm and each other. Your collective contributions to the continued success of the Firm have been remarkable and we are incredibly grateful. We wish you and yours a safe and happy holiday season.
