dollar sign keyboard moneyAre you getting tired of constantly refreshing your inbox to see if your firm has announced bonuses yet? For associates at firms that were early adopters of the Cravath bonus scale, it’s much the same as they wait and wonder when they’ll see a match of Davis Polk’s special bonuses.

That seems to be what’s happening at Morrison & Foerster, which came in at No. 34 in the most recent Am Law 100 ranking, with $1,165,000,000 gross revenue in last year. The firm announced its Cravath match way back on December 3, and its bonus scale should look awfully familiar:

MoFo Bonus Scale 2021

MoFo is once again offering its client service awards to associates who went “above and beyond” when it came to serving the firm’s clients. These awards take the form of over-market bonuses for those with 2500 legal service hours or more, calculated as a percentage of class-year bonuses. Last year, these bonus awards generally ranged from 30% to 55% of class-year bonuses for those who billed a lot.

Congratulations to everyone at MoFo on their bonuses! Hopefully you won’t have to wait too much longer for a Davis Polk special bonus match.
