Here we go again: Yet another boutique law firm is stepping up to the plate to offer its associates Biglaw bonus money. Glenn Agre Bergman & Fuentes, a litigation firm founded in 2021, is making headlines by not only matching the Cravath/Milbank year-end and special bonus scale but also adding a unique twist for their high-performing associates.

This year marks the fifth consecutive year that Glenn Agre is offering Biglaw bonus compensation to its hardworking attorneys. The announcement has set a new benchmark in the legal community, particularly among boutique firms striving to compete with larger law firms in attracting and retaining top talent.

What sets Glenn Agre apart this bonus season is their commitment to reward extraordinary dedication and performance. Associates at Glenn Agre aren’t just receiving the standard market rate bonuses; they're also eligible for a “premium” above these base amounts, recognizing their exceptional contributions over the year.

The firm announced that these bonuses will be paid out on December 19, ensuring a festive and rewarding end to the year for their dedicated legal team. This move not only boosts morale within the firm but also solidifies Glenn Agre’s reputation as a competitive player in the legal industry.

Glenn Agre’s strategy highlights a growing trend among boutique law firms to offer competitive compensation packages that rival those of their larger counterparts. By doing so, they not only enhance their appeal to current and prospective employees but also challenge the traditional dominance of Biglaw firms over the legal market.
