Congrats on the bonuses!

Super win.We’re in the final stretch of the year — Hanukkah has started, it’s only a mere week before Christmas, and 2022 retrospectives are in full swing. In the legal industry, part of that year-end tradition is gawking at the impressive bonuses law firms hand out to their associates.

Kaplan Hecker & Fink, an elite litigation boutique founded less than a decade ago by Roberta Kaplan, announced their own bonuses. The year-end bonuses match the prevailing market rate, but the firm also previously announced mid-year bonuses ranging from $5,000 to $15,000.
