As a lateral, if you agree to a start date before your current firm pays bonuses, do you ask the new firm to cover any supplemental year end bonuses? For example if you’re on pace for 2300 hours and would therefore get an above market bonus? Same thing for if the Milbank bonus gets built into your firm’s year end bonus

You can ask. If they really need you to start now they might do it. Otherwise they might tell you that they’re happy to wait for you to collect your bonus before you move.

I’ve always wondered if they check to see if you would’ve actually gotten a bonus or not

So they just take your word for it?

As a lateral, signing bonus should have been negotiated before you agreed to a start date 👀

What do you all do to make non-professional / personal connections? Particularly with the Coronavirus, and being in domestic relations, I wake up, go to work, work out, go home. So outside of law, my interactions with people are only at the gym given that my area is draining— particularly at the moment. Probably a good thing for now; but if we take coronavirus out of the equation, I’m interested what others in the community do to develop personal connections.
