Power of Partners/MDs at Small to Midsized Firms in Tier 1 Markets

Hey guys curious the power some of these partners/MDs have a midsized firms. I heard through someone I know of a professor at a well know midsized law firm, they have to ability to hold classes in their corporate offices. Literally put up signs and directions for us students, made me think how much power do they have to literally put up signs/directions albeit later after hours but still.

Can partners/MDs that are rainmakers (bringing in millions) do whatever they want? Any examples, curious about what privileges top guys at these top firms get to use in tier 1 markets - any anecdotal stories.
