Biglaw Firm Spreads Holiday Cheer With A Bonus Announcement

Alston & Bird just handed out Biglaw’s version of a golden ticket: bonuses! The firm has been rolling in the dough — the American Lawyer reported that the firm grossed $1,331,414,000 last year. When your coffers are that full, you’ve gotta make sure that the associates get their share of the treasure.

Here’s the scale:

To the hard workers at Alston & Bird, enjoy the money! And if you’re looking for something fly to spend your cash on, why not Falconry? You’ll gain a companion, easy back-pocket stories to tell at the company mixers, and you’ll still have a nice wad of cash left over. The sky is the limit!

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. If you previously signed up for the bonus alerts, you don’t need to do anything. You’ll receive an email notification within minutes of each bonus announcement that we publish.
