Dunn Isaacson Rhee, a firm established in May 2025 by a group of former Paul Weiss attorneys, has just announced that it will be awarding its associates with lucrative spring bonuses.

The announcement, revealed in an internal memo and later reported by Above the Law, specifies that these bonuses will range from $10,000 to $25,000, depending on the seniority of the associate. This move places Dunn Isaacson Rhee on the growing list of law firms that are acknowledging the hard work of their associates with more than just the standard year-end bonus.
