I have an offer from Mayer Brown as a senior associate and they have told me that a guaranteed full EOY bonus is not standard or a market ask. My offer is in a non-NY office and the posting for this position has been up for six months.

Any recent laterals out there who moved in the last few months who received a guaranteed full EOY bonus and/or signing bonus for a corporate senior associate role?

I got full year end bonus to all my laterals… even a full $57K year-end and the person joined december 20th.

If it’s not making financial sense to leave your other EOY bonus, they’ll understand. I turned down an offer that wasn’t guaranteeing what I would receive from my current firm in total comp: the offeror then increased signing bonus but wasn’t matched to year-end.

Continental European here:

1) guaranteed EOY bonus is not standard in my market

2) we leave job positions up even when we have filled them and renew them even if we have candidates that we will likely take - you never know who quits or what happens

This will depend upon your qualifications and MB’s desperatness. So start with making a honest and candid assessment about your strengths and weaknesses as a Candido are.

I’d say it’s definitely possible but you might have to sign clawback provisions. In any case, you should try and negotiate for it because 80K + is a lot of money. I get that’s it’s MB and not STB or Sidley or whatever but MB needs talent just as much as everyone else and you gotta pay to get talent.

MB does a pro-rated bonus for mid year laterals. They also have a step-up bonus for high billing, and if your prorated hours would qualify you for a higher bonus, you get the higher rate (prorated). Eg, my first year at MB, I billed only 1900, but prorated it was the equivalent of a 2300 year, which put me at a higher tier. My EOY prorated bonus ended up being equal to a normal market bonus because of that.
