Sometimes
extra
money
comes
with
extra
work.
Foley
&
Lardner
is
paying
their
associates
handsomely
—
$25k
above
market
in
some
cases
—
but
you’ve
got
to
hit
the
2200
hour
mark
for
that
extra
compensation.
2100
gets
you
market
value
and
2000
or
below
gets
you
a
push
to
do
better
next
year.
While
there’s
no
questioning
that
the
firm
is
raking
in
a
large
amount
of
money,
$1,275,570,000
gross
revenue
in
2024
according
to
Am
Law
100,
the
firm’s
relatively
high
headcount
could
explain
why
the
hours
threshold
shows
such
stark
differences
in
pay.
Here’s
the
scale:
To
the
hard
workers
at
Foley
&
Lardner,
enjoy
the
money!
If
you’re
feeling
festive,
set
aside
some
of
that
cash
to
buy
a
scent
that
reminds
you
of
the
holiday
season.
