Earlier this morning, police received a report of a suspicious package near the Warner Theater in Washington, D.C. — near many of the city’s Biglaw offices, including Hogan Lovells, Morgan Lewis, Ropes & Gray, Alston & Bird, and several others.
We learned of this news from a tipster at Hogan Lovells, where the following message went around:
LexisNexis’ Practical Guidance Is Every Attorney’s Essential Concierge
This tool will — seamlessly and authoritatively — take you from initial research to final draft in just about any practice scenario.
How did folks at the firm react? “Attorneys are carrying on,” said our source. “Staff are more nervous.”
The suspicious package report caused the evacuation of area buildings and some street closures.
Thankfully, the police just completed their investigation and issued the all-clear. But one can understand the need to take such reports seriously. In the wake of bomb incidents in New York and New Jersey over the weekend, one must pay attention to risk — which is, after all, a big part of what lawyers do.
