Biglaw COVID Appreciation Bonuses Come To The West Coast
Another firm giving out generous appreciation bonuses!
The excitement over COVID appreciation bonuses is just getting started!
Cooley got the COVID appreciation bonuses ball rolling earlier this week. But Davis Polk did not come to play, and they wowed with more money and others have matched that more generous scale.
It remains to be seen exactly which firms will pony up the cash to meet the top of the market, but we have at least a partial answer: Irell is in. The West Coast firm announced last night that they would be offering associates a special bonus, between $7,500 and $40,000, depending on class year. They’re payable September 30, and yes, they are in addition to, not instead of, any end-of-year bonus.
