Global law firm Ashurt is doubling its bonus pool in addition to handing out a one-time “special reward” for those who worked through the pandemic.

Many law firms have recently announced upgrades to their bonus pool plans, with merit pay often being determined by the number of years an associate has been with the firm.

Announcing the Ashurst bonus pool increase and thank-you payment, Mr Jenkins said: “Over the last year our people have made extraordinary contributions to the business, their teams and our clients during a challenging year with significant market disruption.
