While many big firms that have remained busy are handing out bonuses to young lawyers, Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton is sharing the wealth with other employees as well, paying out special bonuses to staff equivalent to one week’s salary.

Firm staff and paralegals will receive their bonus June 25, according to a memo obtained by The American Lawyer. Sheppard Mullin COO Ted Tinson said the bonuses recognize the hard work all firm employees are putting in this year considering a “really busy business cycle,” especially in the transactional space.
