Re: Clerkship bonuses going up?
Any advice on how to get a higher than market clerkship bonus when going back to a firm? I’m starting my second clerkship (district + circuit) and have an open offer from my summer firm giving me a $70k clerkship bonus. Do I just ask for more? Or should I interview and hopefully get an offer from a firm paying above market and try to leverage that into a higher clerkship bonus with my summer firm? Anyone with real experience doing that? Do you talk to a recruiter or an attorney on the hiring committee? Via phone or email? Also, any intel on what NY firms are quietly giving more than $70k to incoming associates with two clerkships?

You'd improve your bargaining position by asking the firm to match the offer of a boutique or QE that pays more than market rather than just plain asking.

Are there firms that do not have a 1- or 2-year requirement/clawback? I've heard S&C -- any others?

In my (limited) experience, clawback provisions are the exception rather than the rule.Anonymous User wrote:Are there firms that do not have a 1- or 2-year requirement/clawback? I've heard S&C -- any others?

Seriously? My impression is the opposite, that no-clawback is the exception.Anonymous User wrote:In my (limited) experience, clawback provisions are the exception rather than the rule.Anonymous User wrote:Are there firms that do not have a 1- or 2-year requirement/clawback?
