No one likes another call when they’re already swamped with work, but Hueston Hennigan just gave all of their associates a reason to be happy about the phone going off. The boutique trial firm saw some huge wins this year, allowing them to share the successes with their colleagues. Best thing about it? The share is way above market compensation!
While we do not have a scale, a tipster let us know that they’ve recently begun communicating bonuses today to associates and other non-partners. Each associate received above market bonuses and, in several cases, near or more than double the market bonus! For everyone in the know, that’s a lot of money! For everyone else, you can look at the market scale below for some context on how much money we’re talking:
To everyone at Hueston Hennigan, big congrats on the big money! And to the firm proper, congrats on 10 years of excellence!
We like hearing about bonuses almost as much as you enjoy spending them. As soon as your firm’s memo comes out, please email it to us (subject line: “[Firm Name] Bonus”) or text us (646-820-8477). Please include the memo if available. You can take a photo of the memo and send it via text or email if you don’t want to forward the original PDF or Word file.
And if you’d like to sign up for ATL’s Salary & Bonus Alerts, please scroll down and enter your email address in the box below this post. If you previously signed up for the bonus alerts, you don’t need to do anything. You’ll receive an email notification within minutes of each bonus announcement that we publish.
