Insight into Mintz in NYC (litigation)? Interested in everything from firm culture to partners to seek out/avoid, type of work, QOL, etc.

Also - word is that while they pay Cravath scale, they don’t pay Cravath/market bonuses. Truth? If so, what are bonuses like for mid-levels at 1800-2000+?

Bonuses are low and you need to hit 2000. Cravath scale salary. 100% worth it IMO

Don’t remember off the top of my head but very low, like $10-15k

Boston lit here, but I work with NY all the time.

As other person mentioned, salaries are market but bonuses are not. Lifestyle payoff is absolutely worth it in my experience, and others I've talked to in NY agree. Great culture (friendly, genuine, respectful) good training and interesting matters. I expect NY office will continue to grow in terms of headcount, but not faster than it should.

Feel free to DM for more info if you have more specific questions.

Lateraled to lit within the past year (not NYC). Cravath scale salary for all associate levels, but lower bonuses. All in all, very happy with my move to come here and couldn’t care less about the bonus given the lifestyle trade off. Still pretty busy, but my hours aren’t like what I hear at a lot of other big firms. I haven’t encountered anyone bad yet either. I’m a POC too, for what it’s worth/if you can relate.

Many are wondering what’s wrong with ClearView. The problem is straightforward, if the way ClearView is organizing a project such that when one analyst or senior analyst (22 to 24 year old) fails at something, stakes are high enough that an project’s fate depends on it, then ClearView is putting way too much responsibility on its Junior staff, not promoting and severely underpaying them. Maybe it’s time ClearView brought in a consulting firm to ease its org problems
