Shorts Can Limit GOP Control of DC to Four Years - Opportunities for Democrats to Rebuild Identity of Savior for the Little Guy

That was fast. The new administration is less than a month old and already the critical constituency - major financial players - is souring on it. This could negatively affect 401ks and what ordinary investors are counting on not to wind up living paycheck to paycheck - or worse, becoming homeless.



As MSN reports:

"Hedge funds are making unprecedented multi-billion-dollar bets against the US stock market, signalling expectations of a devastating crash that could wreak havoc on retirement savings across America."

What could accelerate the downward momentum is for there to be a continuation of the falloff in confidence in the US tech sector. The impacts of the Chinese DeepSeek have not yet been fully felt.

Obviously, these developments provide a platform for the Democratic Party to bring back the Little Guy into the tent. The billionaires pulling on the strings like puppet masters can find themselves out of influence. Given inflation and the ongoing layoffs in white collar fulltime/contract work, there are more and more of us Little Guys. Only one of my coaching clients feels good about where they are in their professional lives. Fear dominates, particularly among the over-50.

The way back for the Democrats can kick off with the front lines during Election 2024 becoming visible again. Those include the leadership of law firms such as Covington and Paul Weiss, that is if they've learned enough from failure. Former liberal techies who shifted over to Donald Trump could find themselves even more out there in the cold as they are perceived as behind-the-curve in innovation as well as wasteful of investors' funds. GOP loyalists in the US House and the US Senate will focus on their own electability. 

Possible: A crash attributed solely to the Trump Administration, lazy techies and Congress.

Kirkland & Ellis Reported to Be Building Moat Around Firm to Deter Poaching of Stars

  "Kirkland gives partners more than half their pay after the end of the year in which they earn it. For partners who depart to other firms, the new policy gives the firm discretion to withhold that pay, according to a person familiar with the change."   Bloomberg Law , July 18, 2024 Scrapper Kirkland & Ellis is no slouch when it comes to protecting its business - known as the most successful law firm in the world.  Paul Weiss  certainly got in the way by launching not one but two high-profile raids on its London office stars. Gone were brandnames ranging from Neel Sachdev to Roger Johnson. In addition, Latham poached Matthew Cohn. If there is such a policy, as reported, then Kirkland & Ellis has created what could be an effective deterrent for both partners' leaving and potential poachers' approaching the star lawyers. And it all comes downs to money - big money: That is, both what partners would leave behind which they have already earned and how much ...

Akin Gump Julia Ghahramani's March 2021 Cocaine+ Death - So?

   It had been way back more than a year ago that first-year associate at law firm Akin Gump Julia Ghahramani died from cocaine laced with fentanyl. Yet that story keeps resurfacing.  This week  RollonFriday  revisits it. And  Reddit Big Law  considers the issue if the energy from cocaine is what's making possible those 2,500 hours billed in law firms.  Is what's keeping this on the radar the hunch that use of the illegal substance cocaine is common among those practicing law? After all, in addition to being an energy-booster, it provides a nice reward for such hard-working lawyers. Also, they have the earnings to afford it. Most of the rest of gunners have to stick with boozing. So, why not?  The reality might be setting in that the death could simply have been an aberration. Think about it this way: Ghahramani had bad luck in her alleged choice of dealers. Others might be able to exert more scrutiny in overseeing the content of the il...

Poaching in Law Firm Sector Potentially Catastrophic When Clients Exit with Partners

" ...  when clients refuse to follow partners out of the firm ..." - Brad Karp, chair of Paul, Weiss, cites how that can mitigate the risks, ranging from branding to business development, associated with the massive poaching of law-firm stars. This observation by Karp is extracted from the panel's comments at the International Bar Association, May 15, 2024 and published in Law.com .  The panel of leaders focused on internal law-firm strategies to reduce partner flight. Essentially their consensus was this solution: creating a partner culture of belonging, purpose and equality. About the latter, too many junior partners have an identity of being very senior associates.  However, come on, stars come and stars go. Soon enough law firms with war chests/powerhouse brandnames have the financial resources and the prestige to replace them. And the business goes on. Kirkland & Ellis is still doing well after James Sprayregen left for financial services holding firm Hilco Glob...
