worthless without pictures.

What a shitshow of a non-firm. Lat, frankly we don't need hourly updates about it.

We need a name & pics.

Post. Links. To. Pics. Immediately.

NEED PICTURES

11:03 is correct

I have to agree with 11:03. This post is the equiavalent of just writing "today's news: someone hot works somewhere." snore.

Gallion OUT!!!

11:03 is correct

11:03-ditto---this is worthless without the pic--I bet the NY Post would have published the pic--and you call yourself a rag

"This post is the equiavalent of just writing 'today's news: someone hot works somewhere.'"

No it's not. Davis Polk has lots of hot lawyers, but none of them have posed nude for a national publication.

But yeah, we need pics.

"Davis Polk has of hot lawyers,"
Link?

Lat, have the balls to post a pic. The Nazis would have posted one, I can tell you that.

Thacher Proffitt to skinny dipping in the grotto!

This is why I shouldn't have gone into patent law.

Lat is back!

So TPW has an explayboy model. Lots of firms have those kinds of celebrities. Lat, why not write about the interesting celebrities instead? Skadden has poet Spencer Short. Everyone should buy his award winning book on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Tremolo-National-Poetry-Spencer-Short/dp/B000H2MI9M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196439683&sr=8-1.

Did she go to Miami?

I thought the Girls of Structured Finance graphic was pretty witty actually.

Seriously, Davis Polk needs to post pictures of its "hot" lawyers. I've been unimpressed with what I've seen (sampling problem?).

Great work lover. See you tonight.

Just wanted to let you know that I just unsubscribed from Above the Law's RSS feed because of this post.

I hooked up with a girl in college that was in Playboy in 1999 and is now a lawyer, but I doubt she got a job at Thacher Proffitt (she ended up at some TTT). Lat, any chance to can find what issue? She was in December 1999.

where'd she go to undergrad? Girls of the ACC? UVA?

anyone who thinks DPW has "lots" of hot lawyers needs to have sex with a woman for the first time.

that is dumber than strawberry quik.

11:36 = Spencer Short

Does anyone see a problem with the fact that they are hiring her for the same department where they are about to boot 24 associates? Seems outrageous to me. If I were one of those associates, I'd be so pissed ... and sue - perhaps for gender discrimination?

Playmates to 190!

Google says October 1999 was Girls of the Pac10

This is a joke right? female lawyer?

Get back to making my copies, I need them before you leave.

WHO?????????????

NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12:07 - she may have been a previous hire that just started or starting late or maybe hired as a summer??? These folks seemed to be unaffected by the layoffs... but you are right, if for some reason she is just being hired as a lateral or entry level now, that is very shady and I would be pi$$ed if I was one of the 24 asked to leave! Lat, investigate and get us a picture, stat!

There are a few possible candidates I can see browsing the website. Yes, I think we are looking for someone who was at a BCS conference school in 1999.

Hey, there are some decent looking chicks there. Either that, or they use a really good photographer and alot of airbrushing (just like Playboy actually)

NO it was a differnet Regina Usvjat. very common name.

I can't see the PB picture, but I call BS on that person. Looking at the firm picture I say no way.

@ here she is

you're right. that must be her... hehehe

@ female lawyer

where are the damned copies????

Google "Regina Usvjat" and you'll get 26 results? All refer to TP or Playboy. So it's definitely NOT a common name.

no = Regina Usvjat? Or maybe he's her bf?

Thing is, I'm a guy and a lawyer and, had I ever been good looking enough to be a nude model of any kind, EVERYONE I KNOW WOULD BE REMINDED OF IT ON A DAILY BASIS. So good for her.

$8 is a small price to pay for the traffic, lat. have them fedex it to you...

nice detective work to track her down....don't understand why Lat didn't post the name. This woman already posed in Playboy and already put herself out there for public scrutiny. Therefore her case is different than your average idiot who gets caught sending a stupid email and then has said email posted on ATL.

i agree - if you take your clothes off for money in a nationally circulated magazine, then i don't see why you should expect that to remain secret - most people choose not to make their youthful indiscretions so public

Who in their right mind would buy a used Playboy magazine??? Yuck!

at least she has a career she can fall back on if she gets laid off, which is better than can be said for most of the other trolls at that firm

perhaps thacher is hoping to profit from wood.

Here you go pervs. She's pimped her kitty with some bling bling.

Lat, maybe you can introduce her to Skadden's Spencer Short, the award-winning poet. She can purchase his book on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Tremolo-National-Poetry-Spencer-Short/dp/B000H2MI9M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196439683&sr=8-1.

I'd thatch her proffit with some wood

oh shnap, oh no you di-ent

Her snatch grows profits in wood

ga ga ga GOINK

Her snatch grows profits in wood

Brear patch with a piercing on the hood

Thatcher, proffitt & wood:

Great snatch with a piercing on the hood

Big Pun, just admit you got beat by 1:58. brilliant.

"she pimped her kitty with some bling bling"

Thank you now I'm back to business associations midterm.

Ice her cake like a tasty baked good.

frost her cake like a tasty baked good.

my dick scratch, can't stop it if I could

That's the girl, December 1999. Regina, give me a call. We should catch up.

whenever i open that url its some stupid nylon magazine cover...

Umm. I looked the chick up on Thatcher Proffitt's website. Very AVERAGE looking. Although, I guess she is considerably better looking than most of the DOGS (both male and female) that work at BIGLAW firms. Why are BIGLAW lawyers all so fucking ugly?

An alumnus of JP Stevens High School AND Rutgers?!?! I wonder if she would be turned on by my Highland Park HS varisty jacket...

Why do I get a magazine cover of Evan Rachel Wood when I use the link? That's a level of perversion I don't need to get into.

Yeah, that link is not to work.

I had an office down the hall from this chick. Her firm portrait doesn't do her justice. Very doable and she's got a sexy Russian accent, to boot. Never heard that she'd done any hooking up at work, though. Shame.

Glad I didn't know about the piercing, then. Woulda driven me to distraction.

I feel sorry for her. Everyone I have ever worked with at Thacher were assholes.

if people are that bad at Thatcher, Regina, then you should introduce yourself to Skadden's award-winning poet Spencer Short. You and all your friends can purchase his book Tremolo on Amazon.com.

Why can you read Thacher Proffitt's website in Portugese? They don't have an office in Portugal / a former Portugese colony. Seems like a pretty random language choice.

Nevermind, I guess they're just trying to attract Brazilian business. Answered my own question.

if she had taken me out to lunch........might have considered accepting the offer.........

I was totally studying this all night, brah. The answer is they're not real, but they're still spectacular.

the one time i wish a firm had body length pics on their website...

Ran a google image search for "Regina Usvjat"

For some reason half the results are for beastiality. No lie.

How can I download her V-Card from the TP&W website when that was certainly taken long ago?

http://img145.imagevenue.com/loc429/th_85479__45ReginaUsvjat_429lo.jpg

This is quite sickening. Don't you people realize that you are destroying a fine woman's professional life? Who cares what she did back in her college days. Give her a break.

I guess that is a fine woman. But still, any professional problems this causes could probably be overcome by blowing the partnership.

Nobody is destroying her career - judging from the fact that 1. she works in a dead practice area with very little experience/chances to distinguish herself and 2. her resume (Rutgers/SJU + a year at TPW) is not exactly hyper impressive in the world of BigLaw, and 3. she is being kept on while most of her colleagues are getting the axe - she seems to lead a charmed life at this point. I doubt her past is destroying her career and it might even be helping at this juncture.

Nobody is destroying her career. What is destroying here career is her unimpressive RU-SJU academic credentials (for biglaw) and the fact that she has minimal experience (and little opportunity to shine) in what is essntially a dead practice area. And yet she has miraculously survived the purging of her entire practice group.

Quite a charmed life - if her career has not been destroyed by now I doubt we could derail it.

can we get a bigger picture 1:51?

9:33 and 9:37

You must be an insider to know she survived the purge. I think I actually know who you are :-)

Regina is a professional, hard working woman. It's a shame that her past had to come back to haunt her. I can only imagine what it would be like to have had a camera way back in college when you idiots did something less than favorable.

Give her a break. So what if she posed for Playboy? She never hurt anyone. I am proud to be a playmate, I can tell you all, I met many more intelligent human beings at Playboy then most lawyers who work in "Big Law" firms.

FYI: Davis Polk does NOT have good looking people. I don't know what there seems to be a fascination with terming that firm as "good looking" firm..so goddamn pathetic.

I think that this story cannot be helpful to the woman's career. ATL should delete this story and not run stories like it in the future.

Spencer Short, Skadden's award winning poet and first year associate, is also a hard working guy. But his past is not being appreciated enough by Lat and the rest of you who refuse to purchase his book and talk about his ingeniusly inventive style in his own article. Spencer Short needs your appreciation, respect and fandom. He's probably in the office right now wasting his time on doc review when he should be giving interviews.

This story was not a good idea.

"I can tell you all, I met many more intelligent human beings at Playboy then most lawyers who work in "Big Law" firms."

Talk about damning with faint praise . . .

I don't understand the concern for her career. She made a decision to model for Playboy. Its blatantly obvious that such a decision could have long-term consequences, particularly if someone were to pursue a career in law or politics. If this was unacceptable to her, perhaps she should have kept her clothes on.

I think posing for playboy is awesome, and should be encouraged.

LAST!

so nerds, first, last..come on!

It is obvious that some fat digusting pig at Thatcher leaked this story.

Im sorry that no self respecting man would ever get his d*ck wet in your fish hole, but Im not sure why Regina is to blame for that.

The story finally made it into the NY Post.

There is nothing more important in the world than beautiful young women!
