Salary & Benefits
Winston & Strawn employs a lockstep payscale, whereby the base salary of associates is determined by the number of years of experience an individual has accrued. The firm offers a compensation package that is competitive with those of other law firms of comparable size and stature. Full-time associates also are eligible for a yearly discretionary performance bonus based on associate class, evaluation rating, and productivity. The firm highly values pro bono involvement and credits up to 100 hours of pro bono work toward billable hours for bonus reasons. Associates also may receive credit toward bonuses for other non-billable time.
The firm offers relocation reimbursement of up to $2,500 for entry-level associates, and $5,000 for laterals, to move personal possessions from their current residence to the city in which one of Winston's offices is located.
