Goldfinch Bird Cartoon Character With Money BagThe good news continues in Biglaw, at least in terms of compensation.

The latest firm to announce largesse to their associates is Loeb & Loeb. The firm made $385,271,000 in  gross revenue in 2020, making it 99th on the most recent Am Law 100 ranking.

As you can see from the bonus chart below, it will take quite a few billable hours to match the market standard set by Davis Polk (which includes year-end and special bonus numbers). But, if you hit those super-high billables (core hours include client billable hours and creditable non-billable hours) wow, those are some impressive bonuses. And for ease of comparison, Loeb & Loeb charted out what last year’s bonuses were like, so you can see just how much better associates are doing — monetarily — year over year:

2021
1900 Core Hours 2000 Core Hours 2100 Core Hours 2200 Core Hours 2300 Core Hours 2400 Core Hours
Tier 1 $7,500 $15,000 $22,500 $30,000 $37,500 $52,500
Tier 2 $15,000 $25,000 $35,000 $45,000 $55,000 $75,000
Tier 3 $25,000 $45,000 $65,000 $85,000 $115,000 $150,000
Tier 4 $50,000 $75,000 $100,000 $125,000 $180,000 $220,000
Tier 5 $65,000 $90,000 $115,000 $140,000 $210,000 $250,000
Tier 6 $80,000 $105,000 $130,000 $155,000 $235,000 $275,000
Tier 7 $90,000 $115,000 $140,000 $165,000 $250,000 $290,000
Tier 8/SC $100,000 $125,000 $150,000 $175,000 $265,000 $305,000
2020
1900 Core Hours 2000 Core Hours 2100 Core Hours 2200 Core Hours 2300 Core Hours 2400 Core Hours
Tier 1 $5,000 $10,000 $15,000 $20,000 $25,000 $30,000
Tier 2 $10,000 $15,000 $20,000 $25,000 $30,000 $35,000
Tier 3 $15,000 $30,000 $45,000 $65,000 $85,000 $105,000
Tier 4 $30,000 $50,000 $75,000 $100,000 $130,000 $160,000
Tier 5 $35,000 $60,000 $85,000 $110,000 $140,000 $170,000
Tier 6 $45,000 $70,000 $100,000 $130,000 $160,000 $190,000
Tier 7 $50,000 $75,000 $105,000 $135,000 $165,000 $195,000
Tier 8/SC $55,000 $85,000 $115,000 $145,000 $175,000 $205,000

However, that was far from the only good news at the firm. Loeb & Loeb also announced raises! The firm wasn’t at market compensation before this round of raises, and well, still isn’t. But seeing as everyone but the most junior associates will see a bump in compensation, that has to make folks at least a little happy.

New Base as of 2/1/22 Current Base Base Increase
Tier 8 $340,000 $300,000 $40,000
Tier 7 $325,000 $290,000 $35,000
Tier 6 $305,000 $275,000 $30,000
Tier 5 $285,000 $260,000 $25,000
Tier 4 $260,000 $245,000 $15,000
Tier 3 $235,000 $230,000 $5,000
Tier 2 215,000 $215,000 N/A
Tier 1 205,000 $205,000 N/A
