Bosses of canoodling Central Park lawyers were in sexual relationship - and one just got a $100M pay package: sources

Key Points:

• William “Bill” Savitt, a prominent corporate litigator, and senior partner Sarah Eddy had a romantic relationship while working together at Wachtell Lipton, though it did not violate any firm policies as there is no non-fraternization rule.
• Savitt recently moved to rival firm Gibson Dunn with a reported $96 million pay package after helping win a $150 billion lawsuit for OpenAI CEO Sam Altman against Elon Musk, bringing Eddy and four other senior partners along.
• The relationship between Savitt and Eddy began after Savitt separated from his wife, and they are no longer together; Eddy was divorced and single when the relationship started.
• Nathaniel Cullerton, a junior partner supervised by Savitt, and junior associate Kelsey Borenzweig were caught romantically involved, leading to Cullerton’s rescinded offer from Gibson Dunn due to a power imbalance and a viral TikTok video.
• Cullerton was placed on leave from Wachtell Lipton pending investigation, while both Gibson Dunn and Wachtell Lipton declined to comment on the situation.
