"2025 will likely go down as one of the most memorable in Perkins Coie's 112-year history. Obvi, the firm was targeted by Donald Trump with an Executive Order, one of the first Biglaw firms to be on the receiving end of this type of retaliation but far from the last. Yes, pretty obviously the EO fails to square with the Constitution, but the firm is in a protracted legal battle with the rule of law hanging in the balance."
"Last week, the firm announced special bonuses for associates, matching the prevailing scale of $6,000 - $25,000, depending on seniority. It's noteworthy that the firm came out early to match the special bonuses, since last year Perkins lagged in their special bonus announcement, much to the consternation of associates. The special bonuses will be in addition to year-end bonuses (which were not announced at the same time), and paid December 31."
