A market bonus scale for associates at large U.S. law firms began with Cravath on November 18, 2025, and included Milbank's special summer bonuses. Multiple firms are matching that scale and announcing compensation changes. A running table lists firms that have matched the scale, the dates of those matches, minimum hours required for bonuses where available, and scheduled payment dates. The table is updated daily as new announcements arrive. Reporting is accepted via text or email with memos or photos allowed, and sources are kept confidential. Signups are available for automated bonus alerts.
