Associate
compensation
news
is
coming
in
hot!
If
your
firms
aren’t
raising
salaries
or
announcing
seasonal
bonuses,
what
are
they
doing?
We
can
officially
add
another
boutique
to
the
list
of
firms
that
know
what
associates
want.
Dunn
Isaacson
Rhee,
founded
in
May
2025
after
its
top

Phillips, and
Jeannie
Rhee
—
defected
from
capitulating
firm
Paul
Weiss,
is
handing
out
bountiful
bonuses
to
its

In
an
internal

the

announced
that

will
receive
special
spring
bonuses
between
$10,000
and
$25,000,
based
on
seniority.
Congratulations
to
everyone
