A group of associates who resigned from firms that cut deals with US President Donald Trump to avoid executive orders is campaigning to have the leaders of those firms removed from board roles, with senior partners at firms Paul Weiss, Latham & Watkins and A&O Shearman under the spotlight.
The group, which is led by former Skadden associate Rachel Cohen – whose public resignation made headlines in March – is arguing that ‘bad decisionmakers’ at major firms should not hold board roles at organisations such as charities and education institutions.
