Defendant 2's motion is yet undecided. Normally say who cares but I do not want these misquotes to be binding later.

Do I move to clarify? Write a letter? Defendant 2 has the bigger pocket.

There will be a request to reconsider. At that point you explain why the bad quotes ae meaningless and why your guy must win.

My thought IF there was such a request but it may not be coming.

Three amusing takeaways.

1. Who in the industry didn't see this coming seven to ten years ago? That could only accrue from willful ignorance or blissful self-delusion.

2. Why is this only focused on big firms? Medium sized firms are also getting hammered.

3. When was law - big, small, or medium, all practice specialties - a collegial, communal environment, in which people were more interested in being part of a "profession" than making money like any other business? That Disneyland must've been a hell of a swell time to be any kind of professional. Docs would've whistled as they biked to work, accountants would have clicked their heels like Gene Kelly in Singing in the Rain as they rushed down the sidewalks to their fascinating days of preparing corporate tax returns... Prozac would never have been invented. And of course, unsolicited fellatio from a Sophia Vergara lookalike for everyone, at least once a day.

I worked at the profiled firm. At one of the less profitable satellite offices. Not much in the article surprises me. I was pretty sure for the last few years I was practicing law that the big firm model was going to have to readjust itself in a major way or it would be shrinking/going away. What's the incentive for an associate to ever stick around and try to make partner anymore? There certainly wasn't one when I was an associate 5+ years ago, and I don't see it getting more likely...

Why does this article act like this only ever happened for the first time in 2007?

And the term "Lathamed" was not coined then, but decades before.

Liely because the author is under 30 and only recently got axed by Mayer Brown.

Not only was it coined decades before, but it doesn't even mean what they say it does. Being Lathamed originally meant that you had been laid off because the firm couldn't keep you busy, but Latham would deny letting anyone go on anything other than performance issues.
