SULLIVAN & CROMWELL as FEC employer text: $7.3 million

Partnership letterhead on individual receipts

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. SULLIVAN & CROMWELL is the partnership name as stored. The $7,313,648 total is those itemized gifts. It is not the firm’s revenue, not matter-billing totals, and not a NAICS rollup of all Am Law firms.

People who typed S&C, SULLIVAN CROMWELL without the ampersand, ATTORNEY, or LAWYER without the firm sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into this key.

Summer associates, counsel, and partners can share SULLIVAN & CROMWELL if they typed the partnership. The industry headline does not rank those roles. Occupation pages show titles beside the firm when the occupation box was filled.

362 donors, 7,669 lines — fewer people, larger typical gifts

362 unique donors produced 7,669 SULLIVAN & CROMWELL contribution lines totaling $7,313,648. That is on the order of 21 itemized receipts per donor. Dollar volume is close to PHARMACIST’s title row, with a similar donor count and fewer lines — a partnership pattern rather than a 70,000-line payroll pattern. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a partner-versus-associate split.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the firm’s committee PAC filings are outside the $7,313,648 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

362 unique donors is a small person count next to carrier payroll rows. The $7,313,648 still lands in the same dollar neighborhood as several title-as-employer keys. Dollars and headcount measure different things.

Peer firm strings and lawyer title rows

KIRKLAND & ELLIS, LATHAM & WATKINS, KING & SPALDING, and HOLLAND & KNIGHT are separate employer-name keys. Combining them with SULLIVAN & CROMWELL would be a researcher-built big-law recode. This page stays at $7,313,648 for SULLIVAN & CROMWELL only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the firm. ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and ATTY exist as industry keys when donors put the credential in the employer box instead of the partnership name.

Donor table

The SULLIVAN & CROMWELL donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a deal, a litigation caption, or a motive to that line. Alumni who still type the firm share the string with current partners and staff. The FEC field is not a Martindale directory.

Repeat names are expected among 7,669 lines from 362 people. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the firm string.

Partnership dollars are not a legal-industry rollup

SULLIVAN & CROMWELL’s $7,313,648 from 362 donors and 7,669 lines sits in a small-partnership pattern: fewer people than a carrier payroll row, larger typical gifts than a 100,000-line railroad cluster. That pattern describes how the FEC stored this string. It does not describe the Am Law 100 as a sector.

LATHAM & WATKINS, KING & SPALDING, HOLLAND & KNIGHT, and KIRKLAND & ELLIS remain separate firm pages. ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and ATTY remain title pages. Unitemized gifts and the firm’s PAC documents stay outside the $7,313,648 unless an individual receipt lists SULLIVAN & CROMWELL.

Use the donor table for disclosed recipients. LobbyVault does not attach a deal or a litigation caption to a large gift. Alumni who still type the firm remain in the 362. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not a NAICS legal-services total.

Keep SULLIVAN & CROMWELL’s $7,313,648, 7,669 contributions, and 362 donors on this partnership string. LATHAM & WATKINS, KING & SPALDING, and KIRKLAND & ELLIS stay on their own pages. Unitemized gifts and the firm PAC remain omitted. Occupation breakdowns show titles stored beside the firm. The donor table lists disclosed recipients; this guide does not assign party percentages. FEC.gov via LobbyVault is the source, not a NAICS legal-services total.
