'Patently Unreasonable': Twitter Blasts Vijaya Gadde's $1.1M Legal-Fee-Reimbursement Request
The legal clash between Twitter and former legal chief Vijaya Gadde is heating up, with the company’s lawyers blasting her request to be reimbursed $1.1 million for legal fees she rung up preparing to testify before a U.S. House committee as “unreasonable in the extreme.” Gadde and two other former Twitter executives sued the San Francisco-based company in the Delaware Court of Chancery in April seeking reimbursement for legal fees they’d racked up on Twitter-related matters, including...
Big Law Leaders Aren't Losing Sleep Over Sen. Tom Cotton's Anti-DEI Threats
|
Last week, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, wrote letters to the leaders of 51 large law firms, threatening investigations and litigation if the firms continued advising clients on DEI programs and maintaining programs of their own. Invoking the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action, Cotton also sought to remind the law firms of the existence of Title VI and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, noting that private employers cannot make hiring decisions based on race.

Browning: Now That's Entertainment!
Every now and then, I’m genuinely entertained by what I read about in legal news media—almost as if the real-life headlines were in fact being written by the folks behind The Onion or the Babylon Bee. Can you learn something about the law while a smile creeps across your face? Of course you can. For example, the governor of New Jersey just signed into law a new statute that requires telemarketers to provide a callback number and to identify themselves and those they represent within 30 seconds.
Virtue in the Legal Profession and the Culture of Law Schools, Firms
During the Conference on Psychology and Lawyering that Professor Jean Sternlight hosted at the William S. Boyd School of Law a few years ago, my friend Professor Nancy Rapoport and I spoke about the psychology of legal ethics. Drawing on my humanities background and her social science background, we discussed the importance of understanding the incentives that encourage lawyers to behave in certain ways.
'We Won't Mandate': West Coast Law Firms Aren't Following Wall Street Back to the Office
Wall Street firms are marching back to the office, requiring four-day attendance come September. But a handful of large West Coast firms aren’t following suit. What it comes down to for these firms is the ability to recruit and retain talent by offering workplace flexibility that aligns with their people and culture and accounts for circumstances outside of attorneys’ control, according to firm leaders at DLA Piper, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati and several smaller California firms.
As Big Law Marches to Most Days in Office, Some 'Bank' Remote Days
Law firms pushing increased office attendance this fall are also counting on an idea that surfaced when Big Law first began working in person after pandemic lockdowns: a “bank” of remote days. The notion, announced by both Davis Polk & Wardwell and Weil, Gotshal & Manges, is both a nod to how work has changed and an effort to win over skeptical lawyers who would rather have more flexibility, analysts said. But, others added, it probably won’t be a big factor in a lawyer’s choice between two firms.
