Brand New Megafirm Makes Its Very First Bonus Announcement
This firm is making big money moves for its associates. Congratulations!
Matches, matches, everywhere! Biglaw firms across the Am Law 100 are handing out Milbank matches to their hardworking associates, inclusive of the compensation leader’s year-end bonuses and special bonuses.
The latest firm to make a big bonus announcement is A&O Shearman. The recently merged firm — formed from the union of Allen & Overy and Shearman & Sterling — grosses $3.5 billion, with nearly 4,000 lawyers, including 800 partners. The Biglaw behemoth clearly wants to make a showing of its strength, so the megafirm is matching the generous Milbank bonus scale. Here’s what bonuses look like at A&O Shearman:
Congratulations to everyone at A&O Shearman!
