Boutique Firm Showers Associates With Biglaw Cash
Biglaw salaries and bonuses are coming to this boutique firm. Congratulations!
Boutique firms continue to prove that they’re capable of meeting and competing with Biglaw in terms of compensation.
The latest boutique to meet the the market in terms of associate salaries and bonuses is Glenn Agre Bergman & Fuentes. The young litigation firm is hungry for top talent, so it’s offering generous compensation to its hardworking attorneys.
We’ve confirmed that Glenn Agre has chosen to use the Cravath scale for its compensation increases, meaning these are the salaries associates at the firm will see, effective January 1, 2024:
- Class of 2023 – $225,000
- Class of 2022 – $235,000
- Class of 2021 – $260,000
- Class of 2020 – $310,000
- Class of 2019 – $365,000
- Class of 2018 – $390,000
- Class of 2017 – $420,000
- Class of 2016 – $435,000
The relatively new boutique is also matching the Cravath bonus scale, and this is what year-end bonuses will look like at the firm, to be paid on December 15, 2023:
- Class of 2023 – $15,000
- Class of 2022 – $20,000
- Class of 2021 – $30,000
- Class of 2020 – $57,500
- Class of 2019 – $75,000
- Class of 2018 – $90,000
- Class of 2017 – $105,000
- Class of 2016 – $115,000
There’s even better news for associates, because on top of these lockstep bonuses, they’ll be eligible to receive a “premium” based on “extraordinary dedication and/or performance.”
Congratulations to everyone at Glenn Agre!
