Cravath officially kicked off the 2021 bonus season yesterday afternoon, finally sweetening the pot by increasing its annual bonus offerings by up to 15% per class year. Now, another elite law firm has jumped to match the market rate as quickly as possible.

Which firm is the first to match the official 2021 Biglaw bonus scale?

Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton is the first firm to hop on the Cravath bonus bandwagon. The firm is usually the first or second to match year-end bonuses, and 2021 is no different. Bonuses at the firm will be paid to all associates in good standing on December 22.

Here’s the bonus scale, in case you’ve forgotten what it looks like:

  • Class of 2021: $15,000 (pro-rated)
  • Class of 2020: $20,000
  • Class of 2019: $30,000
  • Class of 2018: $57,500
  • Class of 2017: $75,000
  • Class of 2016: $90,000
  • Class of 2015: $105,000
  • Class of 2014+: $115,000

Congratulations to Cleary associates on the generous bonuses!

(Does this mean that associates’ hopes for another firm to step in and raise the bonus scale even higher will be dashed? That’s uncertain, but we’ll be watching.)

Remember everyone, we depend on your tips to stay on top of important bonus updates, so when your firm matches, please text us (646-820-8477) or email us (subject line: “[Firm Name] Matches”). 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.
