Hold
on
to
your
timekeepers:
Covington
&
Burling
just
officially
joined
the
“yes,
we’ll
match
bonuses”
club.
It’s
been
under
a
week
since
Cravath
announced
their
year-end
bonus
scale
(same
one
as
last
year,
and
the
year
before
that,
and…),
and
perhaps
because
the
scale
is
so
familiar,
firms
have
been
matching
the
standard
fast
and
furiously.
On
Friday,
Covington
shared
the
good
bonus
news
with
associates,
and
yes,
they
are
also
matching
the
special
bonuses
that
Milbank
started
over
the
summer.
Below
is
the
full
bonus
scale
at
the
firm.
So,
is
your
firm
matching
*both*
the
year-end
and
special
bonuses?
Let
Above
the
Law
know!
We
depend
on
your
tips
to
stay
on
top
of
important
bonus
updates,
so
when
your
firm
matches
(or
if
they
fail
to
do
so),
please
text
us
(646-820-8477)
or email
us (subject
line:
“[Firm
Name]
Matches”).
Please
include
the
memo,
if
available.
You
can
take
a
photo
of
the
memo
and
send
it
via
text
or
email
if
you
don’t
want
to
forward
the
original
PDF
or
Word
file.
And
if
you’d
like
to
sign
up
for
ATL’s
Bonus
Alerts
(which
is
the
alert
list
we
also
use
for
salary
announcements),
please
scroll
down
and
enter
your
email
address
in
the
box
below
this
post.
If
you
previously
signed
up
for
the
bonus
alerts,
you
don’t
need
to
do
anything.
You’ll
receive
an
email
notification
within
minutes
of
each
bonus
announcement
that
we
publish.
Thanks
for
all
of
your
help!
