fancied
itself
clever
when
it
offered
Trump
pro
bono
payola
in
exchange
for
dropping
an
illegal
executive
order.
Instead,
it
keeps
hemorrhaging
senior
lawyers
with
more
departing
to
join
the
recent
rainmaker
spinoff
and
associates
reportedly
high
on
the
new
firm’s
wish
list.
While
litigators
are
largely
driving
defections
from
surrender
firms,
at
what
point
does
a
hollowed
out
litigation
department
start
to
impact
the
firm
as
a
whole?
Harvard
Law
Review
found
itself
harassed
by
the
government
and
it
looks
like
the
reason
might
be
a
snitch
burrowed
into
the
White
House.
And
the
one-track
partnership
model
took
more
hits
with
Ropes
&
Gray
and
Debevoise
agreeing
to
add
nonequity
tiers.
