Boutique Once Again Matches The Market On Bonuses

Exciting news out of the 302.

money-lf-rfPowerhouse Delaware litigation boutique Ross Aronstam & Moritz has always made clear that it intends to keep pace with the Biglaw crowd in the never-ending contest for top talent.

Once again, the firm founded by lawyers from Wachtell, Weil, and Kellogg Hansen followed through on that strategy, announcing bonuses that match the market. The grid is truncated because there aren’t newbie lawyers on the team, but here’s what the firm is paying out.

2019 $57,500
2018 $75,000
2017 $90,000
2016 $105,000
2015 $115,000

Associates will see their bonuses on December 15. Counsel will be compensated on an individual basis.

Congrats! The memo is reproduced on the next page.
