[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Paul Weiss is a business.  They deal with reality, not with wishful political thinking.  Obviously they are expecting Republicans to be in charge for the next few cycles.  [/quote]

Lawyers have greater responsibilities than simply making money.   The decision is a disgrace to the firm, and this DC lawyer has lost respect for the firm.  [/quote]

If I were till in a position of hiring big firms (I was deputy general counsel to a bank), I would think twice about PW's ability to zealously represent my interests before the federal government.  They have proven they won't stand up for themselves, why would I believe they would stand up for me?[/quote]

True but the only prosecution will be political. So maybe PW has shown it has enough connections to mitigate Trump’s attacks? Though PW was founded on different philosophy. It seems that philosophy will not work in the current environment or current courts.[/quote]

I was head of litigation for a major local company until a few years ago when I retired. This is going to be subtle. At least in our area, attorneys and in house counsel are moderate to left.  Lots of white women in charge.  No one is going to make a fuss to statement or “fire” PW over this. But they will hire someone else for next case.  These law firms really don’t get that there are many many good law firms to choose from and decisions and made on the most basic level of do you like these people. Competence assumed. The PW attorneys with unique expertise will be fine but the rest should worry. As outside counsel I would also worry about their ability to recruit good new attorneys. [/quote]
