Los Angeles’ Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges has announced its 2008 associate bonuses:
The firm will be paying bonuses pursuant to the following schedule on December 23rd.
We greatly appreciate all your hard work this past year and wish you all very happy holidays…
Name partner John Quinn revealed, in a second memo, that his caps lock key is broken:
it is an amazing fact that of the 10 largest billing matters in 2008 thru the end of sept, 9 have finished or nearly so. these are the kinds of cases that you do not replace immediately.
this really shouldn’t be a cause for concern tho. our basic practice strategy–focusing on high end ip and financial litigation, trial work, being able to be adverse to financial institutions, etc–is clearly sound.
Above the Law spoke to several Quinn Emanuel associates, whose opinions varied on the fact that only lawyers without families, significant others, hobbies or the need to sleep got the best bonuses.
I’m in the top tranche! Good for Quinn for compensating the hardworking fairly!
