I have been in the vertical for 20 years. My friend was the CIO at Cadwalader. He left about 3 months ago to take another CIO job. I need to get the lowdown. My other friend was CIO of Hogan. He moved out west to take a different CIO job.

Hard to be surprised there is a real cost when institutions trade principles for short-term protection. Talent voting with its feet usually tells the real story.

I remember when I first read about them thinking, who the hell would hire a law firm that so quickly bent at the knee for FASCISM, WTF - no principles, zero honor.

A friend had worked there. He took their actions very seriously. They had done a lot of blue pro bono work.

were cowards

The capitulation to TFG was disgusting…

Did they not know the talents could fight and win against evil?

I want stories of their principles being forced to sell their second, third, and fourth vacation homes and lining up for food banks.

Get raped.

I work in the vertical. I have been to Hogan’s office in DC multiple times. My friend was the CIO. My other friend was the CIO of Cadwalader and he left 3 months ago to take another CIO job. I need to call him to get the lowdown.

What does "working in the vertical" and "CIO" mean?

Is the large law firm market. They represent corporations. Average people are represented by plaintiff firms. For instance, I worked on the large Blue Cross class action which settled for 2.67 billion for the plaintiffs. CIO is the chief information officer.

My son is a paralegal who works for a very small local law firm, so I learn about everyday plaintiff case terms and procedures from him. Handy for my elderly self-protection, LOL.

It's healthy and wise for all our citizens to learn more about our system of justice.

How can they defend me when they can't or won't defend themselves?

And presumably any merger partner would inherit that liability, or Trump would go after them and force them to. Prospects look bleak.

while trump is circling the drain. I wouldn't worry about it.

That's another way of saying, your employees ( i.e. law partners) are the only thing a law firm has to offer. There's not much investment in equipment or inventory like there is for a manufacturing firm or a retail business. If your law partners decide they don't want to continue under the current management, what keeps you in business? That's what Cadwalader is finding out right now.

Accounting is the same as the legal vertical.
