Lawyerly Lairs: Gay Gotham Edition (continued)

Michael Haverland Philip Galanes Above the Law blog.jpgWhy do the gay lawyers land all the fabulous real estate? Just a few days after this installment of Lawyerly Lairs, profiling the palatial pads of two same-sex couples, we learn of a third such couple living large in New York.

A reader sums it up nicely: “This seems right up our alley for Lawyerly Lairs: Manhattan / East Hampton real estate, Yale Law alum (then Paul Weiss before going in-house), Ivy League pedigree on both sides of the same-sex partnership, and shout-outs by the New York Times.”

Indeed it is. Read about the charmed life of architect Michael Haverland and lawyer-turned novelist Philip Galanes, follow their successful adventures in NYC real estate (and furniture collecting), and ogle photos of their luxurious Upper East Side and East Hampton homes, in this NYT article.

So associates are being let go left, right and center, and this is what Latty Boy is posting. I know this is a pointless blog which serves only to assuage Latty's sadness over dumping Wachtell, but I mean seriously - POST SOMETHING OF SUBSTANCE.

ive heard there have been substantial layoffs in Sidley chicago and ive seen that other posters in ATL have also heard/experienced this - we need a post on this Latty Boy - stop fantasizing about their guys and their apartments, and get to work...

Where have you heard those rumors? Sidley Chicago hasn't laid off anyone. Were these the same rumors that suggested the meeting they had 2 weeks ago was going to be about how much trouble the firm was in? 'Cause those were unfounded too
