Biglaw Firm Makes Bonus Money Magically Appear For Associates
Congrats on the bonus bucks!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year — and at Magic Circle firms, it’s also the most magical time of the year, because bonuses are out.
At Allen & Overy, the good news for associates is that their bonuses match the prevailing market rate that was set by Baker McKenzie last month. The firm brought in $2,672,969,000 gross revenue in 2021, putting it in 11th place on the 2022 Global 200 ranking, so it’s not exactly surprising that they’re willing to hand out generous bonuses to associates.
Here’s what the bonus scale looks like at the firm:
- Class of 2022: $15,000 (pro-rated)
- Class of 2021: $20,000
- Class of 2020: $30,000
- Class of 2019: $57,500
- Class of 2018: $75,000
- Class of 2017: $90,000
- Class of 2016: $105,000
- Class of 2015+: $115,000
Associates will see bonus bucks hit their bank accounts on January 16, 2023. Congratulations, everyone!
