Compensation and Benefits*
U.S. Offices
Hunton & Williams LLP offers total compensation to our associates that is competitive in all of our offices. The firm employs a single "standard" salary, determined by class and office location, for each associate who meets the firm's performance expectations in terms of quality of work, productivity (including high realization against the firm's standard billing rates), and overall contribution to the firm.
Discretionary performance bonuses are awarded in all Hunton & Williams offices, based on overall individual performance and market considerations. To be eligible for a bonus, an associate must demonstrate extraordinary effort, commitment and quality of performance.
Beyond salary and bonus, Hunton & Williams offers a competitive benefits package to its associates. Employees receive the following basic benefits that are either fully or partially paid for by the firm:
Employees may also elect to purchase (with firm contributions or through pre-tax or after-tax payroll deductions) the following optional benefits:
-
Dental Insurance
-
Vision Insurance
-
Dependent Life Insurance
-
Supplemental Life Insurance
-
Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance
-
Dependent/Health Care Spending Accounts
-
Long-Term Care Insurance.
Domestic partners are eligible for medical, dental, and vision coverage.
In addition to these basic benefits, the firm pays for the following reasonable moving expenses for all new and laterally hired associates:
-
moving furniture and personal effects more than 50 miles to the office location using one of the firm's recommended moving companies;
-
out-of-pocket gasoline for one personal automobile and lodging expenses incurred to move the associate and his or her immediate family; and
-
other approved means of transportation.
Further, the firm maintains a Retirement Savings Plan that offers the opportunity to make 100% vested tax-deferred 401(k) contributions. Contributions can begin after receipt of the first paycheck. Associates also receive four weeks of paid vacation per fiscal year, earned pro rata from the first day of employment. Six weeks' paid childcare leave is offered to the primary care giver in conjunction with the birth or adoption of a child. For female lawyers, childcare leave is in addition to short-term disability leave (typically six weeks) granted with the birth of a child. Back-up childcare and dependent adult/elder care is offered in all of our offices as well as a concierge service. In addition, all offices provide flu shots and host on-site wellness screenings each year at no cost to employees, and some offices offer subsidized health club memberships and subsidized parking or transportation benefits.
Non-U.S. Offices
Hunton & Williams also offers competitive salaries and benefits at each of our five international offices. Because they vary a great deal from country to country, they are not detailed here. Please contact Jacob Kerkhoff, Benefits Manager, at , or the office of interest directly for more information.
*Benefits apply only to those benefits-eligible lawyers who work at least 1,000 hours per year.
