NEW YORK – December 17, 2025 – Earlier this week, Law360, Bloomberg, Above the Law, and others reported on Elsberg Baker & Maruri’s record-breaking associate bonus announcement.
“Biglaw and boutique firms continue to match Cravath’s year-end bonuses and Milbank’s special bonuses, but some firms are offering even more,” Above the Law reported. “The latest firm to make its bonus announcement is going up, up, up over the market standard. It’s clearly their moment. You could even say these bonuses are golden.”
Above the Law further noted that “the firm has achieved remarkable success, and to that end, Elsberg Baker & Maruri recently announced bonuses that are 175% of the 2025 scale that was set by Cravath/Milbank.”
The bonuses reflect the firm’s continued focus on rewarding exceptional performance and investing in its associate team.
“We achieved remarkable success this year thanks to our stellar associates who worked relentlessly to secure exceptional results for our clients,” said partner David Elsberg. Emphasizing the firm’s competitive, trial-first culture, partner Rollo Baker added, “Our associates are relentless— they work hard, think hard, and they want to win. These bonuses recognize the commitment and competitive edge they bring to every matter.” Partner Silpa Maruri echoed that sentiment, noting, “We’re thrilled to announce our bonuses this year, which are a reflection of our firm belief in the exceptional talent of our attorneys.”
