Email correspondence between Kathy Ruemmler and Stephen Immelt (Partner and CEO at Hogan Lovells) regarding a potential partnership opportunity, including discussion of compensation and introduction to Michael Davison, the firm's global head of litigation.
Summary
This email chain documents discussion between Kathy Ruemmler and Stephen Immelt regarding a potential partnership position at Hogan Lovells law firm. Immelt proposes that Ruemmler meet with Michael Davison, the firm's global head of litigation and international arbitration specialist based in London. Ruemmler expresses interest but requests a specific conversation about compensation before proceeding with the meeting, noting the significant career move would need to make economic sense. Immelt responds positively to structuring the compensation outside the firm's standard curve given Ruemmler's potential contribution to the firm.

It goes without saying that any movewould need to make economic sense. My assumption has been that your comp would fall outside of our "bellcurve", but that is not an issue for us as long as the potential contribution also falls outside. You would not bethe only partner outside the curve, and I am comfortable with expanding that group for people who cangenuinely move the needle while embracing the culture that makes us who we are.One benefit of having Michael in the mix is that he can provide a global perspective, and he would be importantfor explaining the case outside the US if we moved forward.Just let me know when and how you want to speak next.Best,SteveStephen ImmeltPartner and CEOHogan Lovells US LLP - Washington, DC officeColumbia Square555 Thirteenth Street, NWWashington, DC 20004Tel:Direct:Fax:Email:www.hoganlovells.comHogan Lovells International LLP - London officeHOUSE OVERSIGHT 025908Atlantic HouseHolborn ViaductLondon EC 1A 2FG, United KingdomTel:DirectPlease consider the environment before printing this e-mail.-----Original Message-----From: Kathy Ruemmler [Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2016 10:08 AMTo: Immelt, Stephen J.Subject: Re: Follow upHi Steve,I am still intrigued and would like to meet Michael. I thinks it makes sense, though, for us to have a morespecific conversation about compensation before I meet with him. I don't want to put the cart before the horse,but as I mentioned, this would be a big move for me, and it would have to make sense economically in additionto being the right move for other reasons we have discussed.I hope you are well.
