Elite U.S. Law Firm's Associates and Counsel Anticipate Lucrative Autumn Windfall
In a recent announcement that has left associates and counsel buzzing with excitement, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, one of the leading law firms in the United States, disclosed plans to award special fall bonuses, with amounts ranging from $2,120 to a remarkable $32,908. This exclusive news was revealed on Monday, raising the stakes in the competitive legal world.
Bonanza on the Horizon
Tailored Rewards for Dedication and Experience
The sizeable windfall will not be a one-size-fits-all arrangement; rather, it will be directly correlated to each lawyer's seniority and billable hours. Legal eagles who have diligently billed more than 2,700 hours, and who belong to the esteemed class of 2016 or earlier will be the fortunate recipients of the largest special fall bonus, a staggering $32,908.
Bill Burck, the global co-managing partner of Quinn Emanuel, proudly stated, "The firm is having another tremendously successful year." He went on to assure the legal professionals at the firm that this special fall bonus is an addition to, rather than a replacement for, the traditional year-end bonuses that Quinn Emanuel is renowned for.
A Force to Be Reckoned With
Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan boasts a formidable legal arsenal comprising approximately 1,000 lawyers, most of whom are dedicated to litigation. The firm is well-versed in handling diverse cases, representing both plaintiffs and defendants. Notably, the firm's prowess was underscored in a recent victory where it assisted Google in overturning a $15.1 million jury verdict related to the playlist features within Google Play Music, a now-defunct app.
Sharing the Spoils of Victory
In another feather in their cap, Quinn Emanuel is among the select firms set to divide a substantial $266.7 million fee award. This award results from a monumental $1 billion settlement in a high-profile case, in which allegations were made against Dell for allegedly shortchanging certain shareholders through a controversial $23.9 billion stock swap.
