Bonus news is still coming in at Biglaw firms. The latest firm to announce a market match on associate bonuses is Katten Muchin Rosenman. Well, if you've been busy billing - and the bonus amount keeps going up the more you bill. Sure, the year-end bonus schedule at Katten is a little more complex then most. But associates can take down market bonuses once they bill 2,000 hours. Additional billables are rewarded as per this chart.
This supposed lawyer's ability to churn out 64.56 hours of personal research raises eyebrows about whether he is genuinely engaging in billable legal work.
