In a bid to navigate this holiday season without falling for scams, consider doling out cash this year instead of complex gift cards, as Over The Law recommends in a recent article. This simple alternative not only cuts the risk of cons related to gift cards but it also provides more scope and flexibility for your recipients.
But what if you’re seeking something a bit more personal than cash? The solution might be closer than you think. For legal professionals on the hunt for non-gift card presents, Above The Law’s comprehensive holiday gift guide may be worth exploring.
If the bonus you received this year looks more like a salary, chances are you’re in good company with substantial firms. But just how do other firms measure up? Biglaw’s raise and bonus tracker for 2023 provides a look into those firms dishing out bonuses to a whopping tune of $435,000.
Unfortunately, it’s not all positive news in the world of law. ASS Law could be in hot waters after receiving a noncompliance notice from accreditors. This suggests the firm may soon lose its accreditation and begs the question of what impact this will have on its clients and staff.
Next, continuing to court controversy is none other than Rudy Giuliani. The former lawyer and political figure turned heads again by giving live evidence at his own defamation trial. This unexpected move proves once again that Giuliani is no stranger to pushing legal and societal norms.
Lastly, despite the challenges 2023 has presented, several firms have successfully stood out as bonus benefactors. A hearty congratulations are in order for Hueston Hennigan, Selendy, and Ross Aronstam & Moritz on their recently announced compensation schemes.
All in all, while we relish in the spirit of giving this holiday season, it would be prudent to stay on our toes for any potential pitfalls and keep up with our ever-evolving industry.
