You know why you clicked on the article. We’re here to tell you about bonuses! Orrick made humpday worthwhile by announcing they’ll be putting a little extra in their associates’ checks! The Biglaw firm reported $1,465,029,000 in gross revenue in and profits per equity partner of $3,113,000 in 2023, according to the most recent Am Law 100 ranking. And, unlike at HoLove, they’re handing out special bonuses! Here’s the scale:
The good news is that the associates can count on the base bonus money to come their way! By mid February. Would be better if the money hit bank accounts in time for Christmas, but having a few extra thousand dollars to look forward to in February isn’t the end of the world. Hopefully the special bonus money, which is to be paid out with the December 31st payroll, will hold you over until then.
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.
