If you’re a Biglaw associate in the fall of 2023, you might currently be in a high-stress environment, dealing with persistent rumors of stealth layoffs and nervously pondering over your job security. Yet, there’s a sliver of hope: the annual bonus season may be just around the corner. As associates hold their breath and hope for a buffer to the existing instability, law firms are gearing up to make announcements about this year’s bonus structure.
In order to acknowledge and understand the concerning circumstances and perspectives surrounding this corollary legal economy of bonuses, we are conducting a brief and completely confidential survey. Biglaw associates from all corners of the industry are invited to share their thoughts, ideas, and predictions on the upcoming bonus season.
Also, we’re offering a service of bonus alerts. Once subscribed, associates receive an automated mail notifying them about each new bonus announcement that gets published. Associates who have already signed up for these alerts need not take any further action; they will keep receiving updates as they roll out.
To help us continue our coverage to keep you informed, we encourage you to share your law firm’s bonus memo with us as soon as it’s announced. Your anonymity will be maintained, and you’re free to relay the memo through your personal email account, with the memo attached as documentary proof. Pictures of the bonus memo can suffice if you are worried about metadata in PDF or Word files. Email us the details with the subject line [Firm Name] Bonus.
Together, we can address prospective anxieties, make informed predictions, and continue to keep each other updated during this pivotal period. Following the link below, you can participate in the confidential survey, and help us draw a more comprehensive picture of what the 2023 bonus season might hold for Biglaw associates.
