Lord
Appears in Crain's New York Business
 Recruiter Michael Lord was quoted in a
May 1, 2006 article about New York City’s
most profitable law firms. Recent statistics
show that partners at ten New York City
law firms are paid in excess of $2 million.
Lord provided a context for the increase
in partner profits, citing both a good environment
for deal making and hot practices like M&A,
structured finance, securities, and real
estate. Click

In
an article entitled “Pay Soars for Legal
Eagles” which
appeared in the February 13th, 2006
edition, Michael
Lord was interviewed regarding the rising
base pay rate for first-year associates
offered by some California firms.
Lord says the fact that California firms
are ready to embrace the hikes is a
sign that there will be a lot of pressure
on New York firms to also raise first-year
base pay rates. To view the article,

Lord
Mentioned in Corporate Counsel Article
Corporate
Counsel Magazine’s January 2006
edition published an article  entitled "New
Sheriffs in Town," which discusses the
trend of GCs and CCOs being hired by hedge
funds. Lord said that the influx of hiring
has resulted in higher GC and CCO salaries,
some rising to $1 million annually. The other
effect has been that hedge fund practice groups
at major law firms have lost numerous quality
associates to these hedge funds. The article can
