Alienating Our Affections - Above the Law
"The Biglaw world continues to watch single-tier partnerships slip away with Sullivan & Cromwell joining the income partner trend."
"Also former Senator and current Hogan Lovells lawyer Kyrsten Sinema tagged with an alienation of affection tort from her former bodyguard's soon-to-be ex-wife. Come for the bad soap opera plot, stay for the MDMA-inspired psychedelic trip allegations."
"Finally, the Supreme Court got hacked, but federal law enforcement managed, a couple years after the fact, to track down the culprit whose social media handle was "ihackedthegovernment." Cracker jack work all around."
Sullivan & Cromwell joined the income-partner model as single-tier partnerships continue to erode across Biglaw. The shift increases pressure on remaining single-tier firms and raises questions about the future of unified partnership structures. Former Senator and Hogan Lovells lawyer Kyrsten Sinema faces an alienation-of-affection tort filed by her former bodyguard’s soon-to-be ex-wife, with allegations tied to an MDMA-inspired psychedelic trip. The Supreme Court experienced a security breach, and federal law enforcement traced the perpetrator years later to a social media account using the handle "ihackedthegovernment." These developments reflect shifts in firm governance, high-profile personal litigation, and persistent cybersecurity threats.
