Seattle-based law firm Williams Kastner has announced that all non-management and non-lawyer employees will receive a special compensation check as part of the firm’s own “stimulus package.”
The Williams Kastner “bailout compensation” aims to reward and recognize staff while bolstering the economy.
In a departure from recent precedent established by Wall Street, the firm’s “bailout” recipients include all staff employees and exclude management.
The amount of the surprise bonuses has not been released.
Founded in 1929, Williams Kastner 
employs over 90 attorneys in three offices in Washington and Oregon, plus affiliated offices in Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong. The firm is ranked number 6 on the list of the Puget Sound area’s largest law firms by the Puget Sound Business Journal.
