Top 20 Biglaw Firm Announces Associate Bonuses -- It's A Match!
Eligibility for special bonuses at the firm are based on billable hours.
The matching of Milbank’s generous year-end and special bonuses is still underway, and Biglaw firms are making it a December to remember for associates who are eagerly awaiting news of their incoming cash. When will your firm make its announcement?
The latest firm to make its bonus announcement is Norton Rose Fulbright, which brought in $2,261,192,000 gross revenue in 2023, putting it at No. 15 in the Am Law 100. With all of that money, of course the firm is matching Milbank. Here’s what the bonus grid looks like at NRF:
Special bonuses at the firm will be awarded to associates who have billed 1900 hours.
Congratulations to everyone at Norton Rose! Your bank accounts will be bursting come January 31, 2025.
