Date: February 16th, 2018 6:04 PM Author: umber galvanic theater stage mad cow disease cr, oftentimes those "compensation committees" just rubber stamp the decisions of the top guy, in part because the top guy takes care of them wrt comp. it's total fraudlies (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3867403&forum_id=2#35420309) |
|
Date: February 16th, 2018 6:06 PM Author: thirsty market cr, along with all the other "committees"
the only committees that have autonomy are the ones where the top guys dont give a fuck about them, like the recruiting committee. top partners dont give a fuck whether they hire shlomo from penn or moishe from cornell. |
|
Date: February 16th, 2018 6:08 PM Author: wild range We don’t disagree. Point is, a JQ type, is able to hoard a bunch more cash for himself than some typical practice group rainmaker. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3867403&forum_id=2#35420329) |
|
Date: February 16th, 2018 6:11 PM Author: thirsty market yes, yes.
a side-point -- which ironside just made -- is that guys like JQ have to allow other top rainmakers to get rich too, so they remain JQ's bitch and dont cause a threat to him. |
|
Date: February 16th, 2018 6:13 PM Author: umber galvanic theater stage mad cow disease exactly right. that happens way more than you think. sometimes lawyers make more than their book suggests because they play office politics the right way. i personally could never do that.

|
Date: February 16th, 2018 6:01 PM Author: wild range Not exactly. I think they phase you into equity so no true nonequity partners but not a real all equity partnership either. Not that it matters if comp is dictated by JQ.
One guy lateralled from my firm and got a 2.5 MM/yr guarantee for five years. He was prestigious and smart as fuck but his book was almost nonexistent. I get the sense the others are making 500-750k. |

Date: February 16th, 2018 5:45 PM Author: green spectacular ticket booth Faith, I wish I could join in the high minded sentiment you express here. Some day maybe I will be able to. But not yet. At this time I am still perhaps too mindful of other facts.
Such as that you really were not very well known at all when you joined us from White and Case. That during your time with us we supported you in every way we could and, I think, made you a legal star. That during your time with us you were paid well over $100m—far more than you ever dreamed you could earn. That when you wanted to take time off to go to graduate school, we supported you. That when you wanted to come back part time, we supported you. That you planned your departure in secret, we now know, for months. And let us know that you were leaving, not even with a phone call, but with an email to me and to peter, attaching a proposed form of joint press release. That you are now planning to take as much of our work as possible. And to recruit as many of our attorneys as possible. I can tell you that virtually all of the attorneys you name here are pretty angry with you.
There must be a poem about deception or ingratitude that would be more apposite?
