Choosing to work at a boutique firm can come with the tradeoff of not making the market rate. Unless, of course, if you’re working at Cohen Ziffer Frenchman & McKenna! The boutique firm has been paying out the big bucks since they got their start in 2021 — 2025 marks their latest year of keeping up with the financial competition!
Here’s the scale:

To everyone at Cohen Ziffer, you’ll be enjoying the money very soon — it’s expected to paid out on December 19th! And to your five years of success, Above the Law wishes you many more!
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.
And if you’d like to sign up for ATL’s Salary & Bonus Alerts, please scroll down and enter your email address in the box below this post.
