Bonus news is still coming in at Biglaw firms. The latest firm to announce a market match on associate bonuses is Katten Muchin Rosenman. Well, if you\u2019ve been busy billing \u2014 and the bonus amount keeps going up the more you bill.<\/p>\n

Sure, the year-end bonus schedule at Katten is a little more complex then most. But associates can take down market bonuses once they bill 2,000 hours. Additional billables are rewarded as per this chart.<\/p>\n

Plus, there are the special bonuses that associates can add to their comp package when they hit 2,000 hours in the range of $6,000 \u2013 $25,000 depending on seniority. On top of all these associate bonuses, \u201csuperstar\u201d bonuses are also available on a discretionary basis.<\/p>\n
