Stroock is handing out bonuses this year, and like so many before them, they’re paying on the Cravath schedule. That is, any associate that hit their billable hours target of 1900 will get a Cravath size bonus and the firm says that those that “made extraordinary contributions to the firm” will get a bit more. As a reminder, the Cravath scale ranges from $5k for first year associates up to $30k for seniors.
The more significant news from Stroock is the lifting of the salary freeze. All classes will advance next year and receive a pay bump accordingly.
Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP is based in New York City, with approximately 350 lawyers in three offices, including Miami and Los Angeles. It was founded in 1876.
