Did you just read what Brad Karp sent out 3 hours ago?

TL;DR — they looked for solidarity amongst BigLaw and those firms attempted to poach clients instead. They were ready to fight it.

This is why people hate lawyers.

I’m curious how Pomerantz feels about Karp.

Skadden has to publicly say no to musk. If Trump immediately retaliates with an executive order after their defiance, the timing would strongly suggest a conspiracy to obstruct justice (18 U.S.C. § 371) between Musk and Trump. Standing up to Musk here actually may protect them from Trump targeting.

Been for a company for over 2years. The executive team is very much a boy's club. There are a few women in management roles but zero ethnicity diversity there. I raised my concern to HR in feb. And they are just now deciding to do something about it. They want me (white female) to put together a diversity committee. Any suggestions on how to go about it? How to attract volunteers to the committee? I want to make sure I get the right people involved in this, to push for changes.

For anyone who is burnt out and looking to leave big law and go to a midsize, do your research. I was one of those people and I can tell you the grass is NOT greener on the other side. It’s a myth. In retrospect, I should’ve stayed and set better boundaries and not have taken this 35% pay cut.

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.

Do I tell someone at my firm? Don’t want to offend SP or cause drama, but I’m concerned.
