Looking To Beat The Market? Pay Attention To This Litigation Firm

Proof that breaking the mold can make the bank.

Swimming in moneyWhen it comes to clients and matters represented, boutique firms get to break the mold. They get to do the same when it comes to bonuses — Hueston Hennigan is a prime example.

According to our sources, they’ve recently begun individual meetings with associates to bring the good news of more money. All bonus-eligible associated received an above-market bonus, many of them being at least $10k above the market bonus for their class year. The firm gave junior associates close to or more than double the market bonus for their class.

And all of this is in addition to the significant bonuses from back in April.

As the firm hands out individualized bonuses, we can’t definitively state how big these are, but tipsters report that everyone is “ecstatic, especially with global fears about an upcoming recession and the layoffs in the legal industry.”
