As predicted on last week\u2019s episode, Brad Karp left the top post at Paul Weiss<\/a> following the disclosure of friendly correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein. But Karp wasn\u2019t the only Biglaw lawyer in the files, nor were his conversations the most troubling. A former Clifford Chance trainee drafted a sex contract with Epstein<\/a>, Goldman Sachs GC Kathy Ruemmler made a joke with Epstein<\/a> that normally<\/em> you wouldn\u2019t make with someone who already pleaded guilty to child prostitution charges, and Alan Dershowitz managed to drag Paul Weiss into the case again when people found sex tourism legal analysis in the files from a now-Paul Weiss partner\u2026 passing along Dershowitz\u2019s thoughts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And legal tech took a financial jolt as Anthropic announced its entry into the legal tech space<\/a>.<\/p>\n
