Circle Up For This Bonus Announcement, It’s Magical

As kids, magic was always one of those things that grabbed your attention. Many a good trick has involved sleight of hand and disappearance. Maybe a bird flies or a volunteer gets cut in half. But the stuff that really gets me? Duplication and copying. The trick is not where did it go, but where did it come from?! And Clifford Chance, an illustrious member of the Magic Circle, has made Cravath’s year-end bonus and Davis Polk’s new special bonus magically appear.

I wonder what other tricks they have up their sleeves? Umbrellas that dry on their own? I hear it rains a bit in London.
