Fresh from the oven, it’s time for some bonus lovin’! Although the news isn’t piping hot off the press, having originally surfaced in December, it remains a tantalizing topic. After a financially fruitful year with a whopping $792,849,000 in gross revenue for 2024, Pillsbury law firm has concocted a generous bonus structure for its dedicated associates and counsel.

This year, Pillsbury has outdone itself by offering not just one, but a multi-layered bonus plan that stacks up additional rewards over the standard market bonuses. The firm's innovative approach allows attorneys to earn significantly more through a tiered system, provided they meet certain billable hour thresholds.

Here’s a breakdown of what the attorneys at Pillsbury can look forward to: The base bonus starts at $15,000 for fall hires and escalates up to $115,000 for counsel, depending on the class year and billable hours. This is further sweetened by a special bonus that ranges from $6,000 to $25,000. On top of that, the firm introduces two super bonuses, Super 1 and Super 2, ranging from $20,000 to $30,000, rewarding those who exceed even higher billable hour milestones.

Cumulatively, this means that junior associates have the potential to take home up to $71,000 in bonuses, while senior associates and counsel could pocket as much as $190,000. These figures are a clear indication of Pillsbury’s commitment to not only attract but also retain top legal talent by compensating them handsomely for their hard work and dedication.

Congratulations are in order for everyone at Pillsbury for this financial feast! It’s indeed a celebration of their concerted efforts and exceptional performances over the past year.
