This is ***not confirmed*** and may be vetoed at the end of the day. But here's the thought process.

-KIRKLAND & ELLIS is a juggernaut and has massive amounts of cash. Time to squeeze out competitors.

-KIRKLAND & ELLIS already dominates the bonuses scene. Any increase might mean a small short-term bite out of bonuses, but such bonuses would still SHATTER THE MARKET.

-The firm is staffed very leanly at the moment, so this is a way of not only maximizing retention but also rewarding those who've been working hard.

-They wouldn't want to do $170K on up--they'd prefer to keep starting at $160K and reward senior associates more. But they know that the entry-level salary is the magic title in the market. Senior associates would probably get $15K hikes instead of $10K hikes.

Again, NOT CONFIRMED, but ***very*** high levels advocating this.

About time someone pushed the big IP lit firms higher than market again.

Final decision will probably have to wait until all partners meeting in the fall.
