That's pretty standard. I think W&C doesn't have a clawback? But they're the only ones I know of.
W&C = Williams? Or White & Case?

Has any other v10/20 firm other than Latham, Kirkland and Cravath increased their bonus? Seems like GDC, STB, PW and the others did not.

If I'm about to start should I ask about bonus increase or do I have basically zero leverage and thus should drop it.

Any updates? Has Kirkland matched the 125k?
No.

Edit: Can’t personally speak to this but I have been told they’ll go up if you have a competing offer.
