P1 - can partners be fired? I was one of the #metoo posts, a partner cornered me trying to get into my hotel room (both hands on both sides of me), luckily I was able to get out of the situation. This partner is still at the firm, haven't said anything. No physical evidence (no texts, emails, etc. so HR/legal wouldn't do anything). What do we do, P1, when this happens?
