Brokeback Lawfirm: A Runway Report (Part 1)
Move over, Bryant Park. The real fashion show was going on here: New York Supreme Court, 60 Centre Street. Last week, of course, was New York Fashion Week. Our little sister, Fashionista, covered the events extensively. Meanwhile, downtown from the tents in Bryant Park, we too had fashion on the brain. But instead of watching […] - Sponsored

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.

Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell: Polls Are Still Open
We’re still trying to get the motion papers in Sullivan & Cromwell v. Charney, the lawsuit S&C has filed against its (former) associate. Unfortunately, we haven’t had any luck just yet. We’ve contacted some MSM friends who have been following the case, but they either don’t have the documents or aren’t willing to share them. […] -

Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell -- Or Should We Say, Sullivan & Cromwell v. Charney?
We just got back from dinner with lawyer friends, where everyone mourned the apparent passing of Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell. Earlier today, it seemed that this lawsuit — which has riveted legal gossip circles — was on the brink of settlement.

Breaking: Something Is Up With Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell
What is going on in Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell? Here are some facts worth noting: 1. Aaron Charney’s bio has been removed from the Sullivan & Cromwell website (even though it remained there for quite some time after his lawsuit was filed).

Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell: Zach Fasman to the Rescue
As we mentioned earlier today, word on the street is that Sullivan & Cromwell has hired veteran employment litigator Zachary Fasman (at right), chair of the employment law practice in the New York office of Paul Hastings, to represent S&C in connection with Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell. That rumor has now been confirmed. We […]
