Biglaw Firm Kicks Off The Weekend For Associates With Raises And Bonuses
This Biglaw firm is making it a fun Friday for associates.
What better way to start the weekend than with news that you’re getting a raise — and a big bonus, to boot? This Biglaw firm sure pleased associates all over the world when it made this announcement earlier today.
Brown Rudnick — a firm that brought in $216,367,000 gross revenue in 2020, putting it in 144th place in the most recent Am Law 200 ranking — notified its US, London, and Paris associates that they’d be receiving more money in their pockets. This is what the salary scale looks like at Brown Rudnick… and it seems to be a *record scratch* Milbank match:
Well, this was two salary scales ago, but more money is more money.
The firm also announced bonuses today, and surprise, it’s a Cravath match:
Salary increases at the Brown Rudnick are retroactive to February 1, and US associates can expect to see the money in their April 8 paychecks. Congrats to everyone at the firm. Maybe someday these Milbank salary matches will turn into Cravath salary matches.
