Cravath
may
have
been
the
first
in
Biglaw
to
announce
their
year-end
bonuses,
but
they’re
not
the
only
compensation
heavies!
Spectators
were
waiting
to
what
a
comp
leader,
like
Milbank,
would
do
now
that
bonus
season
has
officially
arrived.
You’ll
recall
Milbank
led
the
charge
on
2025
special
bonuses
(paying
them
to
associates
in
September),
so
would
they
lead
again
at
year-end
or
just
play
follow
the
leader?
Well,
we
have
our
answer.
Today,
Milbank
announced
year-end
bonuses
and
they
are
a
match
of
the
industry
standard
numbers.
The
bonus
scale
is
as
follows:
The
bonuses
will
be
paid
on
December
31st.
Congratulations
to
associates
on
your
bonuses.
Read
the
full
memo
