Can an employer fire you after only one week? Is there legal action that can be taken especially if you left a job you were in good standing at to go there?

PwC will typically not fire like that without a major issue. A lot of time is spent on hiring process including internal processing, which includes many approval steps.
I had to fire someone in our group within 3 months of hiring due to performance issues and it took us more than 8 weeks to go through the essential steps including coaching etc.
A quick firing within a week of hiring is very unusual.

If you left PwC in good standing, they would probably be happy to have you back. Boomerangs are common in big 4. I have a couple friends that left for smaller firms and returned <1 year later. Pretty common in our profession

Are there many legitimate ethical hurdles when switching from insurance defense to plaintiff’s work?

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
