Courtland Reichman, a former King & Spalding partner who made waves earlier this week when he led a 13-lawyer team breaking away from McKool Smith to form a bicoastal litigation boutique, wants to shake up the traditional Big Law business model.

Reichman Jorgensen, co-founded by Reichman himself and former McKool Smith partner Sarah Jorgensen, will focus exclusively on complex commercial litigation and patent cases. The new firm plans to do so by eschewing the billable hour and compensating associates on a pay scale greater than the one set this summer by Cravath, Swaine & Moore and Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy.
