http://www.americanlawyer.com/top-stories/id=1202716144338/Top-Female-Rainmaker-Leaves-Kirkland-for-Paul-Weiss?mcode=1202615731542&curindex=0

Taurie Zeitzer, a leading M&A lawyer who joined Kirkland & Ellis just over two years ago from Latham & Watkins, is taking her private equity expertise to Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, The Am Law Daily has confirmed.

According to two sources with knowledge of her hire, Zeitzer had just completed a two-year guarantee at Kirkland that paid her $6 million to $7 million a year. That guarantee had recently been re-upped for another two years.

The Am Law Daily reached out to Zeitzer at Paul Weiss but did not hear back. Paul Weiss confirmed her hire but declined to comment, and Kirkland did not have a comment at press time.

Zeitzer, 42, is among the top women M&A lawyers in New York and her loss comes as a big blow to Kirkland. In the past year, she has handled several big deals for New York-based private equity giant Apollo Global Management—a client she has built a relationship with over the past 15 years and with which Kirkland didn’t have a relationship until Zeitzer’s arrival from Latham in August 2012.

Zeitzer’s work for Apollo at Latham saw her advise the buyout firm on its $1.4 billion acquisition of Belgian chemical firm Taminco in 2011, as well as representing Taminco on its subsequent $1.8 billion sale to Eastman Chemical last fall after she moved to Kirkland. She also counseled Apollo-backed Verso Paper on its $1.4 billion buy of NewPage Holdings a year ago this month.

Zeitzer was lead adviser to Apollo on its ultimately unsuccessful bid for Petsmart in December, according to two sources involved in the matter. Other key Zeitzer clients include Searchlight Capital Partners, BC Partners and the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board, according to her biography page on Kirkland's website.

Zeitzer was touted as one of Kirkland’s top hires in a May 2013 cover story about the firm by The American Lawyer. The firm’s chairman Jeffrey Hammes has been focused on bringing aboard high-profile laterals like Zeitzer, particularly in premium practices such as private equity. (Kirkland also hired Simpson Thacher & Bartlett M&A partner Andrew Calder last year, for instance, to strengthen its ties to buyout giant KKR.)

Of course, Apollo—an investment fund that recently reported having $164 billion in assets under management that has been particularly active recently in selling and buying companies—is not Kirkland’s only large private equity client. The firm has done deals for Bain Capital Management LLC, Apax Partners LLP, Oaktree Capital Management and Madison Dearborn Partners in recent years. But for the most part, Kirkland has traditionally had a middle-market private equity client base.

In New York, Zeitzer ranks among the elite women dealmakers, a list that includes the likes of Cravath, Swaine & Moore's Faiza Saeed; Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher's Barbara Becker; and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom's Martha McGarry. All are several years older than Zeitzer, who is one of the only few star women transactional partners at Kirkland. The firm saw another of its female M&A stars in Kimberly Taylor—whose clients included London-based Apax Partners—leave in 2011. (Taylor, now the University of Chicago’s general counsel, was featured in our January 2011 cover story on top women lawyers in the private bar under age 45.)

Zeitzer’s work for Apollo began early in her career, while she was at O’Sullivan Graev & Karabell, a New York boutique known for its private equity transactional work that was eventually absorbed into O’Melveny & Myers in 2002. As a second-year associate, she told legal newswire Law360 in 2013 that she ran the due diligence process on a complex carve-out acquisition in the chemicals sector, beginning what would be a 15-year relationship with Apollo.

Zeitzer worked closely with John Suydam, a former chair of O’Sullivan who went on to head O’Melveny’s M&A group before leaving in 2006 to become Apollo’s chief legal officer. He continued to steer work to Zeitzer after the move. O’Melveny elevated her to partner in 2007, at age 36, but she left seven months later for Latham.

O’Melveny environmental practice head Eric Rothenberg, who has worked with Zeitzer on numerous Apollo deals since she was an associate, calls Zeitzer "a 24-7 player, a senior private equity deal leader with expertise in the chemicals sector" known for her calm but forceful demeanor. Zeitzer's at the point of her career where she's consulted by her clients at the deal consideration phase, he adds—in contrast to most outside counsel, who are generally called once a decision to go forward with a transaction is made. In the deal setting, she's most often the only woman lead adviser in the room, Rothenberg notes.

Zeitzer’s latest move comes nearly four years after Paul Weiss raided O’Melveny for seven corporate and transactional partners, many of whom also continue to do work for Apollo. The firm counts Apollo among its most active and largest clients, advising it on the close of its latest $17.5 billion fund last January, as well as representing it on its $2.5 billion acquisition of McGraw Hill’s education unit in 2012, among others.

Meanwhile, Kirkland is continuing its frantic pace of lateral hires, announcing Monday that Michael Beinus has joined the firm’s Los Angeles office as a partner in its tax practice. Beinus comes aboard from Skadden and has represented various real estate investment trusts and funds, including Starwood Hotel and Resorts Worldwide; Nationwide Health Properties; Apartment Investment and Management Company and REITs affiliated with Deutsche Bank/RREEF, The Blackstone Group, Pimco, Carmel Partners, BlackRock Realty Advisors and Colony Capital, according to his website bio at Skadden. In 2011, The Am Law Daily reported he was part of a Skadden team advising Nationwide Health Properties on its $7.4 billion acquisition by Chicago-based REIT Ventas.

Kirkland also recently brought on Arnold & Porter labor and employment litigation partner Matthew Keiser in Washington, D.C. But the firm did see Stephen Fraidin, a senior M&A partner who joined the firm more than a decade ago from Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, recently depart to become vice chairman of Pershing Square Capital Management, the activist hedge fund run by longtime client William Ackman.

Paul Weiss has also seen departures. In December, the firm saw the chair of its media and entertainment group James Schwab leave to become copresident of Vice Media.

maybe they thought they could break even on her and get more and more work...so only like $15mm. But you'd think more based on that Dewey partner with the $6m guarantee with $40mm in business each year.

those M&A deals are huge. That's how law firms make money.

And, at the end of the day, ANYONE could do those deals. This isn't like the 1980s were you needed a law library and a lot of egghead guys who knew the secrets of the law. It's all about your network and whether you can source deals. And she can do that. So yea, you write a check.

maybe she's got dirt on him. but she's obviously ruthless and probably a bit hard to deal with considering she's moved as a partner like 5 times, including 7 months after being made partner.

because it's one thing to move once or twice because you aren't getting paid what your book is worth, or because you need a better firm with better support for your deals.

it's another thing be so fickle and constantly jump ship. why would i want to bring in a partner who is gonna leave two years later to go to another firm?

that is fine when you are talking about some dood who is making 1mm to 1.5mmm to 2mmm

here its probably more like 1.1mm to 3mm to 6mm to 9mm.

No one in her class year at any of these firms makes as much as she does. It's probably a political nightmare for the managing partner to deal with all the feeling hurt azn partners who are getting paid 975k a year at her level. So they push back and other firms are willing to pay a ton more. I don't think she had a choice.

$$$$$$$$ drives everything. Mgmt committee needs to balance this girl's profitability with pissing off all the butthurt aznpartners. If you make the effort to balance, you can, on balance, do so. The pay hike from Paul Weiss, though probably pushed them over the edge and they couldn't match. Or maybe it was something different, like letting her take 33% of her billables, which they just couldn't do because it would easily open it up for the butthurt azns to be like "you pay me 975k, but 33% would be 1.3mm! i want my 1.3mm!"

having been in biglaw i think this is all much more likely than someone saying "uh, hey, i know we paid you 13mm over the last two years and just reuped your guarantee, but we actually think you are annoying so pls leave."

that's a fair point, but she came in to kirkland making $6-7mm per year, so if she is really growing her book that quickly, i can't imagine the kirkland partners would care about paying her 9 vs 7. something else must be going on.

The book might be the same size and Paul Weiss (which has a terrible corporate department but has been desperate to break in for decades) is willing to pay her more. The mgmt committee at kirkland already went to the limit to pay her a ridic 7 mm guarantee (literally unheard of in biglaw) and she comes back and is like "uh paul weiss is willing to pay me 9mm or 33% of my billables or whatever"

PW is a desperate shitshow. They've tried to grow a corporate practice organically and inorganically and have utterly failed. Literally every loser fired-for-cause corporate associate on the market that I've known has either gone or got an offer from paul weiss.

this, or maybe they are like cadwalder circa 2003 and think "let's make as much money now before the world explodes and then we'll just clean house."

Sometimes slutting it up is a completely justifiable business practice.

That's the whole point. She has to be that good/valuable or this wouldn't keep happening.

her book is incredibly valuable, especially since it's 100% portable to PW, but that's a liability once they have her imo.

there's this from the article:

"Zeitzer’s latest move comes nearly four years after Paul Weiss raided O’Melveny for seven corporate and transactional partners, many of whom also continue to do work for Apollo. The firm counts Apollo among its most active and largest clients, advising it on the close of its latest $17.5 billion fund last January, as well as representing it on its $2.5 billion acquisition of McGraw Hill’s education unit in 2012, among others."

maybe she wanted to be with her old team? that and a pay match or slight pay bump might've been sufficient. or maybe her sugar daddy gc at Apollo advised her to move, since they're already doing a lot of work with PW.

not that she didn't work hard to get respect and is a good lawyer, but it's crazy how one single relationship can be so valuable. her entire career, now including $7 million guaranteed payouts annually, is based on being tight with this guy.
