Sanchez Fischer Levine, LLP’s Post

Can any law firm challenge Kirkland & Ellis’s dominance in private capital? Paul Weiss’ London push might give us an answer. In my latest piece I discuss why Kirkland and Latham & Watkins are so far ahead; what, if anything, can be done about it; and what chance Paul Weiss has of changing the established order in the U.K. #biglaw #privateequity #lawfirms

🛑 Do Not Make Rookie Mistakes Round II Deborah Read Does Not ❤️ NY In what seems like a frantic three-legged dash (reminiscent of Forrest Gump’s famous run), to escape New York, Deborah Read, with her Thompson Hine LLP equity partners in tow, is scrambling to delay filing an actual answer to the verified complaint. Her lawyers, in a dazzling display of legal acrobatics, threaten sanctions for the audacious act of telling the truth. It’s always rich when the guardians of "justice" try to penalize honesty. Masterclass in hypocrisy. Read, doing the ostrich act, ignoring the weight of the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act of 2021, attempting to impose more secret forced arbitration. Here are some litigation takeaways, not legal advice, but think before you hit file: 1.     The Double Jump: When citing legal authority, ensure ✅ you read both the cited case and the case(s) it references. The second case may ❎ contradict or derail the position offered in the first case. Rookie mistake. 2.     Don’t Ask the Court if you can ‘Cheat’: ❎Do not ask the Court to join another motion to avoid the Federal 25-page limit, ✅ ask for permission to enlarge the page limitation if unable to fit legal argument into the standard form – but note, if the argument cannot be said in 25 pages, no one is likely reading/listening after that anyway. 3.     Don’t Let Personal Feelings Drive Legal Strategy: The laws apply equally to all, do not ❎let clients who believe in their own arrogance and entitlement sway the legal strategy. ✅ Use governing decisional law to craft factually relevant and legally persuasive arguments. 4.     Lawyers: Clients who are lawyers, but not❎litigators, should be educated on the inherent rigorous demands of meaningful litigation. ✅ Advise them to get a helmet, or better yet, give them one of yours. 5.     Law School Lessons: If you learned the lesson in your first year of law school, ✅ for example, the International Shoe saga, ❎unlikely that Court will buy a newly minted effort to unwind decades of legal jurisdictional precedent because client is trying to dodge the Court’s jurisdictional reach. 6.     If Your Throw Shade, Expect a Tsunami: ✅ Zealous litigation is encouraged by all, ❎going off the rails to be vindictive and intentionally harmful to opposing counsel or their clients usually boomerangs. Opposing counsel has the same tools and might use them more effectively. 7.     The Climb: In the journey to success, remember that the people you stomp on today ❎are the same ones you'll encounter when you eventually fall from grace. Treating others with respect and integrity isn't just ethical; it's practical. The alliances and relationships you build on your way up are crucial, and those you harm can become obstacles when fortunes change. So, ✅ rise with grace and honor, because the higher you climb, the farther you have to fall.
