Ep. 38: The Decline And Fall Of Sedgwick LLP
It’s not every day that a BigLaw firm goes under, but that’s just what happened to legal stalwart Sedgwick LLP, which formally closed shop last week. What went wrong? Our business of law reporter Sam Reisman, who spent months covering the firm’s demise, comes on the show to give us the scoop. Also this week, we discuss how a court ruling forced Starbucks to keep stores open during the “Retail Apocalypse,” a Fourth Circuit ruling that slammed “sham” arbitration clauses foisted on strippers, and an inside look at the New York City Bar Association's musical roast of Preet Bharara.
