One

Biglaw
firms
continue
to
fall
in
line
to
match
what’s
now
been
recognized
as
the
market
bonus
scale
as
blessed
by
Cravath.
The
latest
firm
to
do
so
is
none
other
than
Debevoise
&
Plimpton,
which
brought
in
$1,623,000,000
gross
revenue
in
2024,
and
it’s
a
straight
match.
“On
behalf
of
all
of
the
partners,
thank
you
for
your
dedication
to
our
clients
and
the
Firm,
your
outstanding
client
service,
and
your
commitment
to
impactful
pro
bono
work
that
has
benefited
our
communities
and
society,”
presiding
partner
Peter
Furci
and
deputy
presiding
partner
Nicole
Mesard
wrote
in
a
memo
to
all
attorneys
at
the
firm.
“You
represent
Debevoise
at
its
finest.”

looks
