Another Biglaw firm has joined the bonus train, and this time it’s Skadden! The top tier law firm reported $3,669,042,000 gross revenue in 2024 gross revenue and profits per equity partner of $6,049,000 according to the most recent Am Law 100. When you’re making that much cash, its easy to spread the wealth around! Here’s the scale:
All of the firm’s United States associates can expect the bonus money to be paid on December 15th. That still gives you enough time to buy some nice Subway gift cards as stocking stuffers before the holidays roll around. If you aren’t interested in going the sandwich route, maybe you can buy them a nonfiction book from our nicely curated list instead? Whether it’s food for thought or food for food, it should be the thought that counts at the end of the day.
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.
