Pay attention, everyone, because we’ve got some very exciting bonus news from the very first firm to announce summer bonuses — and no, it’s not Milbank. If you recall, back in July, the first firm to announce a summer bonus was Texas-based complex commercial litigation boutique Vartabedian Hester & Haynes.
Now, the firm is back with a Cravath/Milbank bonus blend for its hardworking associates. “This decision reflects our commitment to reward the high standard of work you deliver and to recognize your contributions,” the partners wrote in a memo to associates.
Associates who have met their 1800-hour annual billable goal will be rewarded with these generous bonuses:
Bonuses will hit bank accounts on or before December 31, for a very happy new year indeed.
Congratulations to everyone at VHH!
