It’s not exactly news to point out that Jones Day operates like a cartoonishly evil law firm stereotype. From shady deals to gerrymander the South to disingenuous assaults on voting rights to… some interesting discrimination claims, the firm revels in its dastardly reputation. Wait, go back to that discrimination allegation… pointing guns at paralegals?!?! Obviously that’s not been tested in court yet, but it’s telling that given the firm, we all responded with “that seems entirely plausible.”

Internal strife rose and the firm’s reputation among clients took a tumble, but one suspects that clients have started to return as the temperature cooled.
