Another Elite Firm Affirms Their Commitment To The Top Of The Bonus Scale

Another firm says thank you with big money.

Elite boutique Hueston Hennigan has also entered the COVID bonus fray. The firm, which traditionally blows the Biglaw market year-end bonuses out of the water, has announced a second round of bonuses at the firm.

Back in April, the firm bucked the austerity trend that was making its way through Biglaw. Then they offered staff a special $1,000 bonus to assist them or their families with any unexpected expenses during the pandemic. All lawyers got an additional $500 at-home technology budget (which supplements their existing technology) to make the transition to remote working just a little bit easier.

Now that COVID bonuses are all the rage, they’re matching the market rate on that too. All attorneys will receive a special appreciation bonus ranging between $7,500 and $40,000 depending on year. And staff will also get their second set of COVID bonuses.

The firm also clarified that these bonuses are in addition to their usual year-end bonuses. Can’t wait to see the eye-popping numbers that the firm gives out this year.
