Trove of Unsealed Court Documents Capture Kelley Drye Partner’s Push to Get Paid After Age 70

(Editor’s Note:  These documents provide a fascinating glimpse at how the “other half” work.  I suppose these days, we’d have to call them “the 1%”.  Just something to think about while the rest of us ponder what type of cat food we’ll be able to enjoy in our “retirement” years.)

Chronologically, the 83 pages of filings–which the judge overseeing the EEOC litigation ordered Kelley Drye to make public on March 2 over the firm’s objections–begin with two letters from D’Ablemont clients expressing dismay that he will no longer be allowed to take the lead on their matters.

“While I understand your firm’s position on partner advancement, it creates a rather difficult situation for our company as we move forward,” says a letter (PDF) dated February 1, 2000, with the writer’s name redacted. “We have remained a Kelley Drye client largely in part to your personal involvement in the growth of our company from 1970 to the present day.”

How much did a Kelley Drye life partner earn? At the time the dispute was unfolding, according to excerpts of a Kelley Drye partnership agreement (PDF) made public Monday, attorneys who had achieved that status received a fixed annual income based on their average earnings in their three peak-earning years as equity partners. (The same agreement shows the firm protecting itself against becoming over committed to retired partners by capping life partner salaries at 4 percent of the firm’s partnership earnings in a given fiscal year and requiring that any individual life partner cannot be paid more than half the average partner earnings for the year.)

In a March 2000 letter (PDF), D’Ablemont asks that the firm increase the client development funds available to him from $10,000 to $20,000. He needs the money, he writes, to maintain his membership at theWestchester Country Club ($6,800 a year), The Metropolitan Club($1,900) and the club at Seabrook Island ($1,000).

Jumping ahead, the next letter (PDF) contained in the unsealed documents that management sent to D’Ablemont is dated July 2008. It involves a separate dispute between the two sides–whether or not legal services provided to D’Ablemont’s family should be paid for by the firm.
