The viral Central Park smoochfest between two lawyers was just the tip of the iceberg, The Post can reveal.
William “Bill” Savitt, 63, one of the country’s leading corporate litigators, and senior partner Sarah Eddy were getting in each other’s briefs while working together at white-shoe firm Wachtell Lipton, according to legal sources.
Sources insist that Wachtell Lipton does not have a non-fraternization policy, so their relationship did not violate any of the firm’s rules.
Savitt just jumped from Wachtell Lipton to rival Gibson Dunn this week for a massive $96 million pay package — after he helped secure OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s courtroom victory over Elon Musk in a $150 billion lawsuit.
He took Eddy and four other senior partners from the litigation team with him, in a move that has been the talk of Big Law.
Eddy, a divorced Canadian who’s also a Harvard Law School lecturer, worked on Savitt’s team, but she was not his subordinate, sources said.
Savitt is on the verge of finalizing a divorce from his wife, designer Nazak Savitt, following three years of separation, according to the sources. They had shared a ritzy $5.4 million Upper West Side apartment in The Chatsworth building.

Gibson giving this guy a 3 year, $96M guarantee is a much bigger story (assuming that amount is guaranteed). Does he have the kind of portable book that justifies that? Only 10 MLB players are getting more than $32M this year in total cash.

OpenAI by itself has to be worth 50M annually by 2028 easily given the volume of litigation they will have to survive from every deep pocketed IP rights holder on the planet, and there’s massive potential beyond that if their growth slows and they default on their over 1T in future infrastructure commitments.

It's a lot to bank on just one client. OpenAI probably gives it's less significant litigation to cheaper firms. And for the big ticket IP lit, there's not guarantee that they'll send all of it to one place--or that if they do, it will be to this guy.

Let’s be honest: at least 90% of XO would have gladly sucked this dude’s dick on demand as second year associates if he made a pass at any of us and stated or implied that he would ensure we made partner at WLRK. I’m straight and high t as fuck and would gladly fuck many women that most of gay/closeted XO finds unappealing, but there’s a prestige threshold above which all of us prestige whores are powerless to resist.
