Biglaw Firm Matches Raises And Year-End Bonuses, Comes Over The Top With Special Bonuses

Big pile of cash money and some gold coins

Money, money, money! That’s the big news in Biglaw, as the raises started by Milbank and upped by Cravath are making their way through the industry. But at Cahill Gordon & Reindel — a firm that made $415,200,000 in gross revenue last year — matching the market is only the start.

In addition to the generous market raises and year-end bonuses making the rounds, Cahill has come over the top. They’re also offering special bonuses to associates.

The new compensation matrix at the firm is as follows:

Beating the market by offering special bonuses on top of the year-end bonuses is something of a Cahill calling card. They’ve been at it for years. It’s nice to see the new raises haven’t stopped the tradition.
