Magic TouchThe Biglaw bonus announcements are coming in like magic… circle, that is. That’s right, the latest firm to delight associates with news of their new bonus scale is Clifford Chance.

Last year, the firm took in $2,861,200,000 in gross revenue and now they’re sharing the good fortune with associates. Today, Clifford Chance sent a memo to its U.S. associates announcing the firm will be matching the Milbank scale — for both year-end and special bonuses. That puts the compensation schedule at the firm as follows:

Bonuses will be paid on January 15. You can read the full memo on the next page.
