Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, Paul Hastings and Debevoise & Plimpton have now matched the Cravath bonus scale, according to firm memos obtained by Law.com. They are also following Davis Polk & Wardwell, which on Monday announced a 20% “special bonus” on top of the boosted scale.

At Paul Weiss, which was the first to match Davis Polk, the latest rewards for hardworking lawyers come just weeks after the firm implemented a discretionary bonus program for certain associates and counsel, which applied to those “whose contributions and sacrifices have been extraordinary” in the first half of 2021.
