Alex Spiro, Biglaw’s $3K-Per-Hour Man, Has His Sights Set On Something Bigger Than The Law

Ed. note: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day.

I aim to do things outside of the law — and I will — that I think will be a bigger business than my legal business.

— Alex Spiro, a partner at a partner at Quinn Emanuel, in comments given during a wide-ranging interview on Bloomberg’s The Circuit with Emily Chang, on what he aspires to do next in his career. Spiro declined to further elaborate on what he meant, but he’s on the board of several companies, serves as a senior advisor at investment firm Consello, and recently attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding as a guest alongside Tom Brady. Spiro has a lot going for him, including his $3,000 hourly rate.
