Just how cheap is Quinn? Forum

[anon168]

$18 seamless dinner budget cheap.

Doesn't that shit just get billed to a client anyway?

Some clients won't pay for dinner expenses.

And, truth be told, in this day and age of mobile computing, blackberries, citrix, etc., who really needs to stay at the office to work? Even if you are doing doc review, it's on a computer, which means you can do it remotely.

And QE has probably the most lax "work from home" policy of any biglaw firm out there. Most associates aren't there for lunch, much less dinner.

I see a herring, and it is red.

Counterpoint, if people don't have to make dinner then they can bill more. Even if they bill .25 hours more, that'll over double whatever dinner would cost.

But I think IAFG is on point, they aren't cheap when it comes to bonuses.

And their LA office looked nice enough to me.

I seriously hope you meant that facetiously.

Why would that be facetious. .25 hours @400 an hour is 100bucks, which is over double whatever a dinner would cost. Even Mac and Cheese takes that long (fuck EASYMAC)

Not sure why you think thats facetious. Seems quite true to me.

I believe it has already been established that dinner will cost no more than $18.

Some clients won't pay for dinner expenses. And don't forget, QE does alot of cases on contingency, and those clients don't pay for nothin'.

Let's see... My firm is $40 and I can eat at home. But yes, that's totally a red herring.

Tbf, I'd use way less than 18 if I could cop dat dollar menu.

I have a friend who is in his second year with Quinn. He said they are not cheap but they are not as extravagant as other firms so the people that end to notice/complain about it are laterals.

Is there free coffee at the offices? Please say there is at least coffee.

Yes.

Yes.

What kind of coffee? Espresso? Crappy instant machine? (Anonymous because I'm deciding between Quinn and another firm and this is a dealbreaker.)

According to TLS, "The offices feature in-house coffee bars and cafeterias, as well as a casual dress code." (http://www.top-law-schools.com/quinn-emanuel.html. I can't imagine the SF and SV offices have in-house coffee bars and cafeterias.


Edit: Also, "Associates billing less than 200 hours a month will have their name added to a “low hours list” that is sent to John Quinn each month." Really?
