Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
This
is
not
normal.
It’s
very
unusual
to
see
them
[associates]
take
to
LinkedIn
to
very
specifically
announce
why
they
are
leaving
[and
to
denounce
their
firms.]
The
impression
I’m
getting
is
that
it
was
a
breach
of
trust
between
the
associates
and
leadership…
and
the
breach
of
trust
can’t
be
solved.

Anna
Sanders,
Washington,
D.C.
recruiter
and
senior
director
at
VOYlegal,
in
comments
given
to
the
American
Lawyer,
about
the
many
very
public
associate
resignations
that
the
legal
profession
has
seen
during
the
Trump
era.
Sanders
said
that
how
firms
have
reacted
to
Trump
“will
have
repercussions”
on
their
recruiting,
and
that
“[i]t
appears
to
be
a
concern”
for
candidates
whether
a
firm
has
made
a
deal
with
the
president.
