I've heard they take cases on contingency or in part on contingency as a firm. No idea how they distribute to partners.

That is more than I thought they were making. Fucking boomers.

Quinn put that in there to let every non-partner know how much bank they can make if they stick with him, and to embarass her. And embarass her he did.

You know the firms that over-charge for the same quality of work, or alternatively the firms that have kept billing rates in check. IME, GC's are much more willing to look for value, and don't just try to hide behind "We hired the best!" like they used to.

Does not seem to apply to Quinn. They barely do any true contingency work compared to the old days, have no corporate lawyers and charge insane rates for thier litigators and yet have the second highest PPP. This in a time when litigation is becoming far less profitable than corporate work.

I don't disagree.

But if Faith Gay from Quinn hands you a bill for $5mm, and you can see the hours billed and the price per hour for each attorney, how does knowing whether she makes $4mm or 7mm or 10mm per year make any difference as to what the firm is billing you for your matters? You may think they are overbilling or that their rates are too high or that they pad hours, but her personal earnings are tied to her book of business.

MegaCorpMo here. For big projects, we'll do a request for proposal to see what we can get. Sure, we're not comparing non-V100 to V10, but we'll compare peer firms. Just went through one recently, and it helps us get more competitive rates. It's handled by a formal (non-lawyer) team.

On smaller projects, like a 100k or so, we'll solicit a few proposals informally. Firms generally provide competitive rates if they know there are others.

Companies are different. Some bill outside legal expenses directly to the business while others bill it to the legal department. In the latter scenario, over spending on legal can reduce your bonus or jeopardize your raise.

um, they tell the board they hired the best there is who every other f500 GC beg to handle their HIGH STAKES BET THE COMPANY LITIGATION

doesn't matter one lick whether the rainmaking partner is getting 5m or 15m. all biglaw firms charge the same exorbitant rates. how they divy up profits is irrelevant to the GC

“Yes, I wrote that and it’s all true. I wrote it in response to a lengthy saccharine email that Faith sent to all personnel the night before her departure,” Quinn said in an email on Friday. “I was less disappointed, actually, in the fact that she and others were leaving than in the stealthy way it was done, which was at odds with the close relationship we thought we had and which she professed to still have in her email. And yes I was irritated by her email. In the meantime, our New York practice is booming.”
