Trial boutique Susman Godfrey will beat the market and pay year-end associate bonuses ranging from $140,000 to $360,000—amounts that triple the Big Law scale at the upper levels—and also pay associates at the new, higher market salary scale next year.

The Houston-founded firm that expects record revenue this year will additionally pay special bonuses on top of traditional annual bonuses to all 270 employees, including 131 nonattorney employees. (For associates, the special bonus is included in their year-end bonuses.)
