Sullivan & Cromwell v. Charney: More Coverage of the Hearing (Part 2)

Charney v. S&C: Some VERY Juicy Rumors
Yesterday we invited those of you with firsthand knowledge of Aaron Charney to share what you know with us — whether pro- or anti-Aaron. We received some absolutely intriguing responses. Neither of these comments is “firsthand firsthand,” so please file them under “rumor” rather than “news.” But they are both extremely interesting. Both are somewhat […] -

And Lindsay Lohan Really Was Suffering From 'Exhaustion'
One of the allegations in Sullivan & Cromwell’s countersuit against its former associate, Aaron Charney, is that Charney leaked sensitive internal documents to the Wall Street Journal. The firm’s Complaint implies that Charney physically removed — i.e., stole — confidential documents from the files of a partner. S&C alleges that Charney then leaked these materials […] -

Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell: Best. CLE. Ever.
(Yes, we know. According to Gawker, the formulation “Best. [X]. Ever.” is a blog-media cliché. But we don’t care. And we doubt that this cliché has ever been deployed in the context of Continuing Legal Education — so we get a free pass.) If you’re (1) short on New York CLE credits, and (2) as […]

Sullivan & Cromwell v. Charney: More MSM Coverage
Rumor has it that Sullivan & Cromwell’s chairman, banking law god H. Rodgin Cohen, was “pretty angry” when he learned that the New York Times would be covering Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell, the anti-discrimination lawsuit filed against S&C by a gay former associate, Aaron Charney. (The NYT story was pretty even-handed. But it was […] -
