did steven banks say anything specific about why he’s leaving paul weiss? feels like a lot’s happening behind the scenes. anyone got more deets on that trump deal they’re talking about?
Yeah, there’s not much out there, but it seems like the deal was quite controversial. Can’t find specifics though. Might have to wait for more insiders to speak up.
Interesting to see Banks step down amidst this controversy. Makes you wonder how much of these ‘opportunities to make an impact’ are genuine vs. just saving face. What’s next for advocates at large firms?
This opens a bigger debate on the ethical responsibilities of law firms. Are we to believe the Trump deal was purely a business decision with no ethical implications? LawFuel Editors, any chance we get a follow-up on this intriguing departure?
While it’s sad to see such a prominent figure leave, Banks stepping down to return to direct advocacy is inspiring. It’s a powerful reminder of the personal sacrifices lawyers make for what they believe is right. Hats off to him.
