\"MoneyBiglaw bonus news is dropping fast and furious. The latest firm that\u2019s giving associates a very special thank you in the form of cold, hard cash is Fish & Richardson.<\/p>\n

The firm took in $499,597,000 in gross revenue last year, making it #96 on the Am Law 100. And they\u2019re sharing that money with hardworking \u2014 and high-billing \u2014 associates.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, Fish is giving associates who qualify special bonuses this year. They align with the market standard for special bonuses, set over the summer by Milbank. The special bonus schedule at the firm is as follows:<\/p>\n

The special bonuses kick in at 2,000 hours, and are prorated for those who may not have hit that billable threshold. All of which is on top of the standard year-end bonus, which insiders at the firm report match the Milbank scale. The full memo is available below.<\/p>\n
