Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan is losing a group of lawyers, led by top litigators Philippe Selendy and Faith Gay, who are joining with a group of colleagues to split off and start their own law firm.

Quinn Emanuel announced the split on Thursday, issuing a statement that explained Selendy and Gay have advised that they “intend to withdraw from the firm and set up a new firm with a handful of colleagues.” Selendy and Gay couldn’t be immediately reached for comment.

Trust me, I know. But most firms that don’t have a formula have some kind of “compensation committee” but a few firms particularly those where the founder is alive and kicking are straight monarchies.

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.

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?

given the realistic hourly rates that lawyers charge, even at quinn, do you know how much leverage is necessary to take home $10 million and for quinn to take $20 million +?

Their collection of slaves is enviable.

Quinn’s leverage is 6 or 7 to 1. 5th year associates go for $900/hr at least. And those clowns are billing 2500 hrs a year. Adds up quick.

how's a law firm different than any other corp in that respect? any f500 has a handful of execs earning 8-figs and a huge collection of slaves.

100mm over 12 years is like 8.35mm per year.

not unreasonable to think she could make that much if her book is like $25mm (or, more cynically, if she supported JQ and thus got rewarded for it...)

He’s full of shit. Quinn only poaches established rainmakers or people he thinks will become rainmakers. She’d been a partner at Sidley and W&C and been some high up at DOJ when he lured her to Quinn. Sure she’s more established now but that’s what he expected to happen.
