p. 79: "It has been a mystery to us, and to many others both inside and outside of Quinn Emanuel, why the
ordinary course of wishing each other well is beyond the firm's instinct or ability. This course remains in
our view the correct way forward."

Restraint of trade?
Also LJL @ anyone working in an industry where bosses shit on departing employees publicly like this (dood wrote this in Reply All to the departing partner's farewell):
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?

The whole reason this is newsworthy is because generally these sort of e-mails never get sent. But on this one issue, honestly, good for fucking John. The constant public-facing tut-tutting and high-mindedness gets tiresome when everyone knows that behind the scenes it's relentless infighting and backstabbing and jockeying within most V25 partnerships. It's one the reasons lawyers get a bad reputation--there's such an obsession with being decorous (why, one must NEVER bad mouth a departing employee; we mustn't burn our bridges, at least in public lads!) that it leads to this two-facedness in the profession. "You smile, in my face, secretly I know, you want my place, you waiting on me to choke, don't want a nigga to breathe, want to come cut my throat, you want to get rid of me." He called her out for what she did. And it was indecorous. But she also burned them.

just do use the firm's and the partnership's resources, connections, training, and clients (while drawing $100m) to fuel your ascent from middling litigator to Chambers prominent practitioner top bitch then cut and run as soon as you reach the top while taking a bunch of client relationships (that you didn't originate but merely inherited and tended) with you because you're prissy pants that you're not feeding your hubrism with a big enough vig
If this is the omnia contra omnes world you want to live in, fine (there's a case to be made for it, for sure--perfectly competitive market, baby!), but make sure not to bitch about the consequences of it as firms become ever more mercenary, partnerships become ever less stable, career trajectories become ever less predictable, and the behind-the-scenes dynamic of partnerships continues to be more and more like a red wedding

lol ok
We're already in a mercenary, unstable biglaw world. ITE destroyed the last vestiges of the old school gentleman's nature of the profession.
Biglaw firms treat 90-95% of their attorneys like shit - firing associates in years 1-2 with little notice, de-equitizing slow partners, increasing comp spreads to 20-1 or more, etc. No one owes the firm shit.

Not an ethics masterman, but they're not purporting to restrict who their former partners can represent. Those partners can represent whoever they like, within the confines of the ethics rules. The ethic rules do not, however, reach the question of whether they're entitled to be paid for such representation. A provision that said "you can't represent any former clients except on a pro bono basis" should be enforceable, because lawyers bound by it can still represent those clients for free if they want to. Using ethics as a cudgel to say "fuck you I get paid" (and, beyond that, "fuck you I get paid 100% instead of 90%") is, shall we say, a uniquely lawyer-ish spin on ethics.

"i disagree. no law firm is gonna represent clients for free, so this is basically saying you cant represent former clients of ours. it's precisely restricting who their former clients can represent."
No it's not. The firm can choose to represent clients for free. That it chooses not to doesn't make the restriction on receiving payment for said representation a restriction on actual representation.
Suppose the provision said, "You can't represent our former clients, unless you send us a certified letter informing us that you're doing so and give us three days notice."
Law firm responds: "Well, we don't feel like sending certified mail or giving three days notice, so this is REALLY a restriction on representing former clients therefore invalid."
Obviously absurd. If you can do something but don't feel like it, then you can't argue you are constrained from doing it.

Selendy & Gay look terrible, even taking into account this is John Quinn on the other end, who is one of the least sympathetic people in all of biglaw.
