Curious little thing bubbling in the blogosphere: a lawyer was fired
Above the Law has the details - a partner, in a top law firm (S&C) escorted out of the bulding by security, according to the stories; working in corporate law
here is S&C's list of major financial institution thing's they've been doing recently
it is an interesting list:
advising AIG on their $85 billion
Lehman's on how to go into bankruptcy
JPMorgan on the WaMu takeover
Goldman Sachs on their deal with Berkshire and Buffet
Fannie Mae in connection with its federalization
Bear Sterns in connection with its sale to JPM
Hm, I wonder if the partner fired was involved in any of these, and what triggered the dismissal.
Could be something about to crack here
