As with last year, Skadden is giving its best performing associates in their seventh year an extra $10,000. But this year, the firm is extending the possibility of that extra $10,000 to associates in their sixth year as well. 

Hoping for a little more

Skadden associates appear to have been expecting this kind of bonus declaration. One told Above the Law: 'Hoping for a little more but not surprised. It has been a really busy year for just about everyone, so a drop from last year would have been tough to take.' Source: Above the Law
