You might say Manisha Sheth has the best of both worlds — she’s a partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan (where profits per partner last year were an eye-popping $3.62 million) and she gets to stand up in court representing the U.S. government. A former federal prosecutor, Sheth is part of a team representing the Federal Housing Finance Agency in suits against 18 of the largest financial institutions in the world for selling subpar mortgage-backed securities to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. She’s in charge of the cases against Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. and Barclays PLC, and is also working on the suits against Citigroup Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co.
“It’s a privilege and an honor to represent the United States, and a tremendous responsibility,” she said. “It’s more than just being a persuasive and rigorous advocate, but also doing the right thing for the public. It’s taxpayer money we’re talking about.”
