It would be laughable for them to go to 190. They pay 145 in some major markets. Frankly I'm not even sure many firms would follow them of they did that.

Re: Biglaw Bonus Watch (2013)
Fuck you Staci.We’ve got the announcements from Cadwalader and Proskauer Rose for your viewing pleasure. Did either firm have the guts to top Cravath’s market rate?
Of course not. Don’t be silly. The only things here that are different from the Cravath bonuses are the dates the money will hit bank accounts.

Re: Biglaw Bonus Watch (2013)
It seems that other firms don't follow K&E, Cahill, Boies, etc. when they beat the Cravath bonus, but what would happen if a firm like S&C beats Cravath? Would firms who haven't announced yet match S&C? What about the firms who have already matched Cravath? Just wondering what if anything there is left to watch for.

Re: Biglaw Bonus Watch (2013)
S&C is the market leader when it comes to spring bonuses. However, when was the last time a firm tried to beat the Cravath for fall bonuses and succeeded (I know Skadden failed in 2008)?Anonymous User wrote:It seems that other firms don't follow K&E, Cahill, Boies, etc. when they beat the Cravath bonus, but what would happen if a firm like S&C beats Cravath?

S&C beat Cravath at the higher end of the seniority scale one year (or maybe even two years). Which firms followed was a mixed bag.

Boies, Schiller & Flexner making $300k bonuses. Insane.

I guess since they're not a lockstep firm, then no. But if I'm at Cravath, which I may or may not be, this is pretty enticing. Granted, I'm not sure what happens to Boies when David "retires" but still...stillwater wrote:is it fair to say that Boies SHATTERED THE MARKET

That's kind of moving the goal posts. Was the market set by Cravath? Yes. Did Boies easily beat it? Yes.Anonymous User wrote:I guess since they're not a lockstep firm, then no.stillwater wrote:is it fair to say that Boies SHATTERED THE MARKET
Who gives a fuck if they're lockstep or not.
