Simpson Thacher, one of the juggernauts in the legal industry, has announced a grand gesture of gratitude towards its hardworking associates this festive season. Following an impressive revenue haul of nearly $2.9 billion in 2024, the Biglaw firm is setting a benchmark in sharing prosperity by distributing substantial bonuses among its associates.

The firm revealed the scale of bonuses in a recent announcement, which has sparked excitement across the board. Details of the bonus scale were shared, showing a generous distribution that promises to make this year's holiday season extra special for its recipients. The move is part of Simpson Thacher’s ongoing efforts to maintain morale and reward its employees for their tireless dedication and contribution to the firm’s stellar financial performance.

The bonuses are scheduled to hit the associates' bank accounts by the end of December, ensuring a joyous and prosperous start to the new year. Associates are encouraged to invest in their celebrations, and with the extra cash, this year's Thanksgiving could see an upgrade from the usual festivities.

In a playful nod to the festive season, the firm also shared a video titled "Cheapest vs. Most Expensive vs. Homemade Turkey Challenge," perhaps inspiring associates to experiment with their culinary skills this Turkey Day.

Simpson Thacher’s initiative has not only pleased its current employees but also set a precedent in the legal industry about the value of sharing success. As bonuses roll out, the firm continues to encourage feedback and the sharing of joy, inviting associates to share their bonus memos and experiences.
