Kirkland & Ellis extends its referral bonus program through Jan 2025, offering associates $50,000 for successful lateral recommendations, amid rising demand for associate hours.
According to Lateral Link's Summer Eberhard, Kirkland's focus on corporate work signifies a shift in the industry towards increasing corporate transactional work.
While Kirkland's $50,000 referral bonuses are substantial, Willkie's program offers $50,000 upon hire and an extra $25,000 after a year, hinting at a potential return to pre-pandemic associate demand levels.
