If year-end bonuses are any indication, times are good at Selendy & Gay—less than a year after it launched with a group of former Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan lawyers. On Monday, the 30-lawyer firm announced a bonus scale that beats the market rate for large defense firms set earlier this year by Cravath, Swaine & Moore.

Selendy & Gay will offer its associates a range of year-end bonuses at 150 percent of the Cravath scale—from $22,500 for the most junior Selendy & Gay associates up to $135,000 for the most senior associates from the class of 2012. On top of those year-end bonuses, associates are also in line to receive a special, one-time bonus as a reward for joining Selendy & Gay during its launch year.
