Federal clerkships provide a lucrative pathway to Biglaw firms, often resulting in substantial signing bonuses for clerks who transition to these elite legal practices. Recently, Quinn Emanuel has raised its signing bonus for federal clerks to $175,000, with an additional $25,000 for a second clerkship, making the total $200,000. Other firms have also generous bonus offerings, with Hueston Hennigan providing $180,000, Boies Schiller up to $175,000, and several others in the six-figure range. These attractive bonuses reflect the high demand for clerks with rigorous legal experience.
"Many elite firms really want people with highly demanding clerkship experience to work for them, and that's why the high end of bonuses for federal clerks who join firms can reach six figures."
"Quinn Emanuel has increased its already generous signing bonus for all federal district and appellate court clerkships to $175,000, offering an additional $25,000 for a second qualifying clerkship."
