Yet it's a specialty that made her old firm money. Katten was paid more than $1 million for its work on several city privatization deals, according to city records: $100,000 for its legal work on the 99-year lease of the Skyway, $60,000 for the 99-year lease of downtown parking garages, at least $75,000 for the attempted 99-year lease of Midway airport, more than $217,000 for the abandoned privatization of the city's three garbage and recycling sorting centers, and $662,760 for the contract governing the meters.
