The latest Biglaw quitter post doing the rounds is from an ex-Davis Polk associate. Frames the entire thing as principled until you realize that Trump Media was a firm client at the same time that he was blasting Trump in public imo the highest duty of a lawyer is to his client

The real reason it is so difficult to do political activism in BigLaw is not because the firms are partisan, but because these firms represent thousands of companies from all over the map and if you take a public position adverse to any of them, it's a bad look.
