Biglaw has a reputation for paying their associates a lot of money, but boutique firms are consistently handing out bonuses with a little bonus to them. Perry Law must have had a great year financially because the bonuses they’re handing out to their associates are definitely above market.

Here’s a look at Perry Law’s scale:

And there’s more good news — those who went above the expected hourly threshold can expect even more cash to hit their bank accounts.

To everyone at Perry, enjoy the money! You should expect to see the fruits of your labor before the year is over. Use the occasion to treat yourself to something nice. Buy some art, commit to that spa day you’ve been thinking about, you’ve earned it.

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.
