In addition to a competitive salary and benefits package, Bird & Bird operates two discretionary bonus schemes.
- We offer a performance-related bonus that reflects the contributions you make to the firm. We know an inclusive culture, alongside a diverse workforce, makes us more innovative and agile, so whilst some of the criteria for being awarded a bonus is based on chargeable hours, we also include an allowance for hours spent contributing to Diversity & Inclusion, ESG, and Pro Bono work.
