As it does every year, Boies, Schiller & Flexner has awarded associate bonuses significantly sweeter than those doled out by the rest of The Am Law 100, with the firm’s high end hitting $300,000 in 2013. Meanwhile, at least 10 other firms have now matched the $10,000-to-$60,000 range set by Cravath, Swaine & Moore earlier this month.
Associates at Boies Schiller, a Cravath spin-off, received extra payments of $85,000 apiece on average this year based on a combination of factors that included hours billed, seniority, origination credit, client responsibilities and success premiums, according to Jonathan Schiller, the firm’s cofounder and managing partner.
