Bill Voge via Latham & Watkins website
There aren’t a lot of details here yet, but what we know right now is that Latham & Watkins chair Bill Voge abruptly resigned this afternoon “following an admission that he had engaged in communications of a sexual nature with a person not connected to the firm.”
Law360 cites from Voge’s statement:
Schenck Price Works Smarter with Lexis+ AI and Protégé
LexisNexis sat down with John Ursin, Managing Partner at Schenck Price, to learn how the firm is using legal AI to strengthen client service and daily legal work.
“It is with great sorrow that I step down as Chair and Managing Partner of Latham & Watkins. I made a personal mistake for which I bear considerable fault and humiliation,” Voge said in a written statement. “I deeply regret my lapse of judgment and I am sorry for the distress and embarrassment I have caused my family, friends, and colleagues. My conduct falls well below the personal and professional standards I have tried to uphold throughout my entire career. My disappointment in myself is all the more acute because this lapse does not represent who I am and what I believe, and because I have let down our firm and its people, all of whom I so deeply cherish and respect.”
