      Misconduct & the frills of Big Law

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The location of Katten LA once attracted very cool associate lawyers and folks finding their way through the lineage of big law. I met a lot of great people and a lot of smart people that were very junior while I was also and I do not take that for granted, because time and time again they proved that they were more brilliant than even the most senior.

      Cons

      I was at Katten Los Angeles for around 7 years and a lot of the misconduct I saw attorneys get away with was encouraged by the managing partner. He thought he was invincible and in turn groomed some people professionally to believe the same. He would boast about his high profile clients without being honest with them about the lengths he would go to to win cases using what any state bar would consider extreme misconduct, potentially suspension worthy. He got away with it because the average person does not have resources to deal with abuse of process and fraud. It kind of made me dislike this profession I love when true justice at the center.
