According to Above the Law, White & Case has posted a job listing advertising $180,000 clerkship bonuses. The publication describes the figure as market-leading and notes that another litigation powerhouse has made a similar offer.
The listing has prompted speculation that White & Case may be preparing to match Milbank's compensation scale. The article's headline calls the move a 'precursor to a Milbank match,' though the firm has not made an official announcement about its broader pay structure.
The report is based on a single job posting and offers limited detail. It does not specify which practice areas or offices are affected, and the interpretation of the posting as a strategic precursor remains editorial speculation.
