Associate Bonus Watch: Ho-Love Gives Bonus Love
Every day that major law firms do not announce spring bonuses makes them look like below-market, “non-peer” institutions. It has become very clear that firms claiming to pay market compensation need to be providing spring bonuses. The latest firm to yield to market realities is Hogan Lovells.

Associate Bonus Watch: Unhappiness at Hogan Lovells?
Last week, Hogan Lovells announced its associate bonuses. It’s the first bonus season for the firm since the merger of Hogan & Hartson and Lovells.

Lawyer of the Day: A Hogan Lovells Ex-Partner Who Likes It Rough
