In a substantial deviation from market rates, the trial boutique firm, Susman Godfrey, is set to triple the Big Law scale at the upper levels. This action translates to the payment of year-end associate bonuses that swing from $140,000 to $360,000. Furthermore, Susman Godfrey has committed to compensating associates at the higher market salary scale in the forthcoming year.
Emerging from a financially successful year, with expected record revenue, Susman Godfrey will deliver ‘special’ bonuses to every employee at the firm. This includes the firm’s 270 employees and 131 nonattorney employees. For associates, these special bonuses are incorporated into their year-end bonuses.
