Cleary Gottlieb Follows Cravath on Bonuses

Cleary Gottlieb Gottlieb has confirmed their bonus schedule for this year, which falls right in line with Cravath. Cravath was the first major law firm to announce its year end bonuses. The bar was set so low by Cravath that it’s no great feat for other firms to meet it. Gottlieb

Like Cravath, bonuses at Cleary Gottlieb this year will range from $7500 for first year associates up to a cap of $30,000 for the most senior associates. Of course it could always be worse… at least there are no pink slips attached to the checks.
