[QUOTE="shadowboxer909, post: 221753, member: 42697"] Lol, I guess that's a clear solid lesson in why you don't rely on AI. I didn't want to spell it out because I appreciate everyone has different opinions on it. I was referring to the deals that law firms including ones on here made with the US administration just a few months ago. It's been well-reported that law firms have been doing pro-bono work for the Trump administration and while details are scant, the administration has a very different concept of pro-bono versus what the firms were thinking when they made deals with the administration. That's why I was referring to commercial realities of law firms needing to exist while also bowing down to deep political pressure. And instead of the legal industry standing together, the co-chair of Sullivan & Cromwell was putting pressure on other law firms to sign a deal and law firms were trying to poach other partners from Paul, Weiss who were under attack (i.e. law firms' commercial realities for making deals). I was responding to someone asking how to pick themselves up from rejection by making a cynical remark about how firms don't really practice what they preach but that I'd also be the first one to accept an offer if it came to me (i.e. my commercial reality) [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/29/paul-weiss-brad-karp-trump-fallout-00420354[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.businessinsider.com/sullivan-cromwell-trump-big-law-robert-giuffra-2025-6[/URL] [/QUOTE]
