Everyone knows that the holidays are a time of giving. The best gifts are those that feel like they were chosen with you in mind. Upon graduating high school, I was given a quilt that I still hold dear to my heart. One of my friends gave me a really cool set of personalized kitchen towels. That said, it is really hard to pick out the right gift for one person — let alone a whole firm’s worth of people. But you know what the second best thing is? Money!!

Alston & Bird just unwrapped a new bonus table that matches the Cravath/Davis Polk scales just in time for Christmas across all of its U.S. offices.
