There’s a lot of money to go around at successful firms and Weil, Gotshal & Manges is no exception! According to the Am Law 100, Weil grossed $2,024,581,000 last year. The best thing to do with all that cash is to spread it among the folks who worked tirelessly to earn it — Weil is rewarding their associates by matching the market bonus and special bonuses!

Here’s the scale:

Bonuses will be paid out on January 30th. To everyone at Weil, enjoy the money! And if you’re looking for inspiration on what to spend some of it on, check out Hollow Knight or its amazing sequel Hollow Knight: Silk Song! They make for great excuses to leave the table if your Uncle goes on a rant about something he saw on Twitter. That said, you may want to go back to listening to his tirade once you meet Zote the Mighty.

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.
