[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Without a doubt he would be a full equity partner at Kirkland right now if he had gone that path and would be clocking the nearly 5 million their partners average. Right, his work as a judge has not cost him. [/quote]

Kirkland pays $5 million to major rainmakers in NY and London with private equity clients doing boatloads of deals. Smart lawyers writing appellate briefs don’t get paid anything like that.  You seriously don’t know what you’re talking about. Firms like Kirkland and Latham wouldn’t  give lawyers like him a $5 million annuity just because he has a nice resume for a Federalist.[/quote]

No, you don’t know what you are talking about.  Kirkland is full of people who look like him pulling that kind of money.  Many are in DC and Chicago, where the firms hitters are based, not those other cities.  They are top 5 profits per partner (averaging 4.7) but unlike say Wachtell, whose guys make their money doing dealwork, litigation is their top draw.  Major complex litigation. That works gets done by people just like him, with considerable experience in the judicial system.   In fact, the firm was built around people just like him over the last 30 years.  Not all have stayed but look at the former Supreme Court clerks for the conservative justices that rolled through there.  Those guys and guys like Gene Scalia are the Federalist Society and they get paid huge dollars.

+1. Put in the basest terms, of course clients will pay big bucks to have Brett Kavanaugh shape their trial records, revise their appeal briefs, and argue them, particularly for their most important cases.[/quote]
