| The Firm Announce BonusesAP -- November 1st, 2021 Rachel Alice Hunter, L.L.P., one the leading criminal law firms on the East Coast, announced bonuses for associates of $200,000 to $500,000 based on performance. Salaries for new lawyers at the firm already are aggressively the top in New York City at $350,000 to $650,000 a year. Senior Associates can make upwards of several million dollars a year. The firm's bonus program puts extraordinary pressure on other law firms on the East Coast to recruit with more dollars than ever before from top law schools. Harvard and Yale both said firms start recruiting efforts early in the final year of law school if not before offering internships that can be more lucrative and lock in candidates with opportunistic contracts. Some firms even offer to pay off law school costs. Rachel Alice Hunter, L.L.P. even invites prospective law students to apply for internships or employment via a complicated psychological profile. Rachel Alice Hunter, the senior partner, said, "Our testing methodology means more to us than stellar grades. We expect both but have seen exceptional students fail the test and be denied even an interview. Even current lawyers have to pass the test to get an interview, and we always are hiring the right people." A public defender, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he applied for a job in the firm and was sent a letter directly to him to the website test. He didn't pass. He also said he couldn't discuss the test since it contained a confidentiality agreement. Only certain law schools and lawyers with a Bar License can take the test so everyone that takes it is tracked. You can retry the test in a six months if you fail. Rachel Alice Hunter was a former Assistant U.S. Attorney and a Senior Associate at the marquee firm of Chadwick, Harrington, & Waters. The firm hopes to hire five new lawyers this year and possibly ten the next once they establish a civil litigation department. "Cunning and street smarts gets you the job not pedigree law degrees," Miss Hunter said. "Lawyers who like courtrooms and win make the grade." |
