Whoever
said
bigger
is
better
did
not
know
about
elite
boutique
law
firms.
While
Biglaw
might
be
the
standard
bearer
for
associate
compensation,
time
and
again
we
see
small
but
mighty
firms
blowing
that
standard
out
of
the
water.
The
latest
firm
to
do
just
that
is
Groombridge,
Wu,
Baughman
&
Stone LLP.
The
firm,
founded
just
three
years
ago,
is
a
patent
litigation
shop
with
impressive
credentials.
The
firm
is
super
successful,
and
its
sharing
that
success
with
its
associates.
The
bonus
scale
at
Groombridge
is
as
follows:

Even
if
you
add
in
the
special
bonuses
making
the
rounds
in
Biglaw,
the
bonuses
at
Groombridge
are
bigger.
Congrats
to
associates
at
the
firm
on
their
impressive
bonuses.
