We’re betting there aren’t too many mopey faces Monday at Boies, Schiller & Flexner. Unlike their friends at Cravath, Swaine & Moore and Simpson, Thacher & Bartlett, who have seen year-end bonuses slashed, Boies’ lawyers can party like it’s 2007.
That’s because the firm announced Monday it will be paying associates bonuses commensurate with last year’s largesse. “We haven’t changed our bonus system based on the economic situation,” says partner Philip Korologos. He declines to specify the range of bonuses, but says several will exceed $100,000. At Cravath and Simpson, in contrast, the most senior associate bonuses top out at $32,500 this year.
