My oldest, a partner at one of the big law firms who have not capitulated to trump, sent me this article. I am doing a deal with Latham right now and was amused to see that they were being boycotted for a while by Microsoft but are now back on the list of approved firms. One of Paul Weiss' major clients is Appollo which is now run by some trump supporters Paul Weiss has an entire section of the firm that does Appollo work. The four partners who left Paul Weiss were all litigators and not corporate types.
