#239: BigLaw Breakdown (Trump Goes After Law Firms)

As a former partner and practice group leader in BigLaw, I have a few thoughts about Trump going after large law firms and their response (in many cases, capitulation) to his threats. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down what’s happening, how the past can inform the present and the future, as well as some action items you can take right now.
