Guess Which Boutique Firm Is Paying Big Bucks?

[ad_1]

This holiday season, Above the Law is making a list of who is paying their associates nicely. As expected, one of the firms that will be avoiding the naughty list is Cohen Ziffer Frenchman & McKenna. Paying out bonuses tends to have that effect. Here’s the scale!

Class of 2021: $20,000
Class of 2020: $30,000
Class of 2019: $57,500
Class of 2018: $75,000
Class of 2017: $90,000
Class of 2016: $105,000
Class of 2015+: $115,000

Few things say the holidays like more money. A new puppy may also do the trick, but I would imagine that would create lines of liability most law firms wouldn’t wish to bear this holiday season. I doubt that the bonus recipients are complaining either way.

We like hearing about bonuses almost as much as you enjoy spending them. As soon as your firm’s memo comes out, please email it to us (subject line: “[Firm Name] Bonus”) or text us (646-820-8477). Please include the memo if available. You can take a photo of the memo and send it via text or email if you don’t want to forward the original PDF or Word file.
