Top Biglaw Firm Matches Market Bonuses — If Associates Bill Enough

Biglaw bonus season is in full swing and the top firms are shelling out big bucks to show associates just how much they appreciate them. The market standard includes both year-end and special bonuses, and one major Biglaw firm is putting their own spin on the bonuses that are lockstep elsewhere, making the full bonuses just that much harder to take home.

Arnold & Porter, a firm that made $1,193,720,000 in gross revenue in 2024, making it 51 on the Am Law 100, announced their bonus scale. And it comes with an explicit hours caveat.

Let’s wish plentiful billables to all the A&P associates.
