Date: September 26th, 2024 2:56 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband The Real Rate Report that Wolters Klewer puts out. We've had several courts say that we should get the third quartile for shitigation partners at national firms, so we usually just propose that.
In this last one we proposed the 3Q rate for antitrust litigation, but our kindly judge said that we can't have that much because we don't have the same overhead expenses as Latham and O'Melveny do. A very weird rationale for what the reasonable rate is for performing similar work, even beyond the fact that I'm the singular authority in the country on RPA litigation. Anyway, so we're gonna appeal the shit out of that, and ideally get back up to $1320 or so for antitrust work. |

Date: September 27th, 2024 4:45 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband Our discovery in a different case there showed that the plaintiff in that dispute was charging different prices to different customers. It was completely unrelated to the dispute, but a boomer partner said to me, "did you know that's against the law?" I was like, "bullshit," and he said "you ever hear tell of the RPA?"
After reading a few cases I was like fuck, a guy could make a killing with these cases. So then I spent every commute for the next six months reading every RPA case, and approached a LS classmate with the biz plan, and that's how we got started. |

Date: September 27th, 2024 5:04 PM Author: Emotionally + Physically Abusive Ex-Husband Actually the company that we had represented in the unrelated case at my old firm was naturally pissed at that mfr plaintiff, so after we started our firm I just called up one of the owners and was like, "let's go after these fuckers for their RPA violation." That case settled for a lot, and then he referred me to other similar businesses. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5601435&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310880",#48138482) |

Date: September 27th, 2024 7:05 PM Author: oli yea and the reason the judge gave his hilarious.
biglaw would be asking for $2000+ for partners who got great results. |
