Happy New Year! One Biglaw firm recently made sure that almost everyone at the firm was able to ring in 2026 with some really great news \u2014 for their bank accounts.<\/p>\n

Sources tell us that management at Norton Rose Fulbright \u2014 a firm that brought in $2,436,258,000 gross revenue in 2024, putting it at No. 20 on the Am Law 100 \u2014 emailed nearly everyone on New Year\u2019s Eve, announcing that NRF would be paying out special bonuses after winning a large contingent fee case. We\u2019ve been told that nearly everyone at the firm, from attorneys (not just those who worked on the case) to business services professionals, will receive the bonus.<\/p>\n

\u201cPretty awesome way to end the year,\u201d a tipster said. Although the special bonuses have yet to hit accounts, rumor has it that payouts will range from $2,000 to $20,000.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to everyone at Norton Rose Fulbright!<\/p>\n
