Paul Weiss's attempt to gain favor with Trump through pro bono work has resulted in a significant loss of senior lawyers, many of whom are moving to a newly formed competing firm. This exodus raises questions about how the depletion of its litigation department will affect the firm overall. Additionally, the Harvard Law Review is facing scrutiny from the government amid suspicions of insider leaks. Moreover, established firms like Ropes & Gray and Debevoise are adapting by introducing nonequity partner tiers, reflecting shifts in the traditional partnership model.
Paul Weiss's strategy of offering Trump pro bono payola failed, leading to significant departures of senior lawyers and potential impacts on the firm's litigation department.
Litigators are primarily leaving traditional firms for newer models, raising concerns about the viability of firms that cannot retain their top talent.
