There’s a high-priority email associates are looking for this time of year — the one with a bonus announcement. Thankfully, Linklaters associates are done with the wait. The firm raked in a whopping $2,965,192,000 in gross revenue in 2024, according to American Lawyer. Coffers that rich make it easy to spread the wealth around via bonuses and special bonuses.
Here’s the scale:
To everyone at Linklaters, enjoy the money! If you’re looking for some inspiration on what to do with the cash, I recommend that you purchase and play a copy of Ocarina of Time. Not only is it one of the highest ranked games ever, knowing about the main character’s time travel shenanigans will make you chuckle every once in a while when you see your firm’s name. Find the joy where you can!
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.
