Happy
New
Year!
One
Biglaw
firm
recently
made
sure
that
almost
everyone
at
the
firm
was
able
to
ring
in
2026
with
some
really
great
news
—
for
their
bank
accounts.
Sources
tell
us
that
management
at
Norton
Rose
Fulbright
—
a
firm
that
brought
in
$2,436,258,000
gross
revenue
in
2024,
putting
it
at
No.
20
on
the
Am
Law
100
—
emailed
nearly
everyone
on
New
Year’s
Eve,
announcing
that
NRF
would
be
paying
out
special
bonuses
after
winning
a
large
contingent
fee
case.
We’ve
been
told
that
nearly
everyone
at
the
firm,
from
attorneys
(not
just
those
who
worked
on
the
case)
to
business
services
professionals,
will
receive
the
bonus.
“Pretty
awesome
way
to
end
the
year,”
a
tipster
said.
Although
the
special
bonuses
have
yet
to
hit
accounts,
rumor
has
it
that
payouts
will
range
from
$2,000
to
$20,000.
Congratulations
to
everyone
at
Norton
Rose
Fulbright!
